After having its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Richard Stanley‘s adaptation of Color Out of Space will also screen at the Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas.
Nicolas Cage and Joely Richardson star in the film in which they play a “family whose recent retreat to rural life is quickly disrupted by a meteorite that crashes in their front yard.
“The Gardners’ peaceful escape quickly becomes a hallucinatory prison, as an extraterrestrial organism contaminates the farmstead, infecting everything and everyone it can.”
We have a pair of new images that show the Gardners’ son in peril and another of the nightmarish results of the alien infection.
From the mind of H.P. Lovecraft, TIFF describes the film as a cosmic nightmare. You can see shades of this 1927 story in Stephen King’s short story “Weeds”, which would be adapted into Creepshow.
It also stars Madeleine Arthur, Brendan Meyer, Julian Hilliard, Elliot Knight, Q’orianka Kilcher, and even Tommy Chong.
