New Teaser Trailer for Rupert Wyatt’s ‘Captive State’ Promises Crazy, Original Sci-fi Starring John Goodman
Holy shit, what the hell even is that at 1:15?! We need this right now.
Aliens have taken over in Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt‘s Captive State, which was originally set for release this year but was bumped back to early 2019.
John Goodman and Vera Farmiga star in the sci-fi film, which gets its second teaser trailer today. This one looks to be the sort of original sci-fi/horror we’re always craving, feeling like a mix between They Live, The Purge and Cloverfield. We are so on board this particular ship.
Set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after an occupation by an extraterrestrial force…
“Captive State explores the lives on both sides of the conflict – the collaborators and dissidents.”
Wyatt also co-wrote the original screenplay with Erica Beeney. The cast also features Ashton Sanders (Moonlight) and Jonathan Majors.
The film is produced by David Crockett and Rupert Wyatt and executive produced by Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King.
Focus Features will release Captive State in U.S. theaters on March 29, 2019.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
