Emily Blunt revealed that she personally created the alien sounds used by her character in Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller Disclosure Day, opting against the use of artificial intelligence during the film’s development.

The opening of Disclosure Day this week would seem to fulfill Spielberg’s appetite, but will it do so the same for his audience – one that sees him as their joyful dinosaur daddy and space scout?

Laughing at the “wild” question while appearing as a guest on the podcast, Spielberg answered: “E.T. was a little moist but never slimy,” clarifying that “E.T. was only dry when E.T. got sick.”
