Oscar Isaac, who can be seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, is reteaming with Ex Machina director Alex Garland for Annihilation, which also stars Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta, Black Swan).
Garland writes and directs the pic that “follows a biologist who signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition where the laws of nature don’t apply.“
Jennifer Jason Leigh (Amityville: The Awakening, The Hateful Eight, “Twin Peaks”) also stars with Gina Rodriguez, and Tessa Thompson (Creed, When a Stranger Calls).
Paramount will release it in theaters on February 23, 2018, the same day as CBS Films’ horror pic Winchester.
The film is an adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer novel for Garland and Paramount Pictures, which has Scott Rudin producing.
