‘Annihilation’ Trailer is an Orgasm of Genres
We’re about to hit peak nostalgia, although it looks as if Ex Machina director Alex Garland‘s Annihilation is going beyond homage and using classic films for inspiration.
In his new film, Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta, Black Swan) plays a biologist who signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition where the laws of nature don’t apply. “[She] finds a very strange, dream-like, surrealist landscape, and goes deeper and deeper into that world, and also into that mindset,” Garland told EW just yesterday.
The first trailer takes us into this dream-like sci-fi horror nightmare that harkens back to all sorts fo genre films like Jurassic Park, Predator, and even Contact, not to mention touching on “Stranger Things” (see image below the trailer). It looks nothing short of spectacular.
Jennifer Jason Leigh (Amityville: The Awakening, The Hateful Eight, “Twin Peaks”), Tuva Novotny, Gina Rodriguez, and Tessa Thompson (Creed, When a Stranger Calls) costar as her fellow team members, while Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) plays Portman’s husband.
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.
