"Nothing says look at this like don't look at this. Now the first teaser has dropped and we're getting a peek behind the veil. It arrives just days after billboards began appearing in New York and Los Angeles, featuring a wide, upside-down staring blue eye that looks like it's peeking through a keyhole. But the space around it is actually shaped like a crested bird, surrounded by a ring of dash marks that looks like it could be a code."
"If you found out we weren't alone. If someone showed you, proved it to you would that frighten you? says Emily Blunt's character, just before we see her weather presenter become possessed by this intelligence during a live TV broadcast. What are the clicks and clatters emanating from her? Ah, another mystery arises. There are government agents, massive banks of screens to monitor the public, and a chase around (and through) a farmhouse."
Steven Spielberg maintained strict secrecy around an upcoming project, keeping title and plot under wraps. Teaser billboards in New York and Los Angeles showed a wide, upside-down blue eye appearing to peer through a keyhole whose surrounding space formed a crested bird with a ring of dash marks suggestive of a code. The teaser reveals the bird as a cardinal and hints at an emergent telepathic intelligence among creatures. Emily Blunt's character asks whether proof of other intelligence would frighten people before a weather presenter becomes possessed on live television. The teaser includes strange sounds, government agents, monitoring screens, a farmhouse chase, and fairy-tale animal imagery that oscillates between reassurance and menace.
