Eve Hewson stunned at the Disclosure Day premiere in London — but the cast were left shocked as their screenwriter took an unexpected tumble.
The film, directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg, follows a whistleblower racing against time to reveal the ultimate alien disclosure.
The latest effort from Spielberg saw Eve, daughter of Bono and Ali Hewson, join an all-star cast including Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Emily Blunt and Colman Domingo, with the film premiering in London ahead of its wider release next week.
Eve stunned in a black gown and diamond pendant for the premiere at CineWorld in Leicester Square.
However, while the cast smiled for the cameras on the red carpet, screenwriter David Koepp took a bit of a tumble — causing a scream from leading lady Emily.
Speaking at the premiere on Thursday night, Spielberg said that he believes proof of alien life will be discovered in our lifetime.
‘My view has become more realistic,’ he told the BBC. ‘There’s a lot of mystery and things that are undisclosed but I’ve become more optimistic that people are going to be able to discover things that we have not been allowed to discover.’
‘[The film is] about empathy and bringing people together,’ he added, while leading man Josh O’Connor said that Spielberg’s script immediately resonated with him.
‘When the script came through, I read it in one go in a rush and it was thrilling, it felt so needed as it’s a film about hope and humanity and understanding,’ he said.
‘I definitely think there’s something out there, but I don’t know if we’ll discover it in our lifetimes and I don’t mind if we don’t,’ he added.
‘The sense of mystery used to be so strong and we’ve lost that now.’
Disclosure Day will release in Irish cinemas on June 12.
