In a recent interview, the British actress spoke about how she prepared to play the lead character in Steven Spielberg’s new film.
To prepare to play Margaret Fairchild, a meteorologist who gains extraordinary abilities in the science fiction film “Disclosure Day”, actress Emily Blunt immersed herself in real accounts of alien abductions.
In the film, which follows humanity’s reaction to the confirmation of the existence of extraterrestrials, Blunt’s character acquires psychic abilities and the capacity to speak alien and foreign languages after an encounter with beings from another planet.
In an interview with DiscussingFilm, the 43-year-old actress explained that the role was a unique challenge, since nothing in her personal experience could compare to what her character goes through.
“I simply had nothing to draw from, nothing to base it on, other than watching countless documentaries about people who had experienced something and the reality of what that meant for them,” said the actress.
Blunt had previously revealed in other interviews that, to play Margaret, in addition to the documentaries, she spent months without listening to music in her daily life and replaced her listening habits with relentless recordings of dialogues in Russian and Korean, languages the actress uses in some long dialogue scenes in the film.
“Disclosure Day” is the latest science fiction thriller directed by Steven Spielberg; the feature film, which premieres this week, explores the inevitable consequences arising from definitive proof that humanity is not alone in the universe.
