‘Timecrimes’ Director Prepping ‘Extraterrestrial’
Earlier this week Spanish director Nacho Vigalondo revealed on his official blog that his follow-up to Timecrimes will be a Spanish-language alien invasion horror entitled Extraterrestre (translated to Alien). Scifi Latino translates the plot: “Vigalondo writes that this will not be like a War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise, where a regular person manages to somehow closely witness all major invasion events. He writes that most people will experience a global alien invasion without even knowing it has happened, by listening to rumors, or engaging in pointless activities. Hence Extraterrestre.” How can you not be excited? Check out a teaser image posted by Vigalondo below.
