Emily Blunt didn’t use AI to craft the clicking sounds that her character makes in Steven Spielberg’s newest sci-fi thriller. Instead, she created the alien noises herself.
The meteorologist character that Blunt plays in “Disclosure Day” needed a set of distinct sounds, so Blunt began sending Spielberg voice memos of herself clicking, humming, and making Morse-code-like sounds.
“Steven and I discussed it, and he said, ‘We could do it with AI, or you could do it,’ and I was like, ‘I feel confident I can make some weird noises,'” Blunt told ET. “And I was sending him voice memos of me clicking, humming, mixed with Morse code sounds. I just tried everything.”
John Williams composed the music for the film, which blends thriller and romance elements and follows a group of people who discover evidence of aliens but are caught up in a cover-up.
“Disclosure Day” made $44 million on its opening weekend and currently has an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes.
