You want fresh? You want original? Colossal has you covered.
We’re just over one month away from the release of Nacho Vigalondo’s Colossal, which promises to be anything but a familiar monster movie. In the film, Anne Hathaway stars as a hard-partying New Yorker who uses her mind to battle a giant creature half a world away in Seoul, and that wacky premise alone has sent it to the tippy-top of my 2017 “most anticipated” list.
While we wait, check out the brilliant official poster below.
Gloria is an ordinary woman who, after losing her job and being kicked out of her apartment by her boyfriend, is forced to leave her life in New York and move back to her hometown. When news reports surface that a giant creature is destroying Seoul, South Korea, Gloria gradually comes to the realization that she is somehow connected to this far-off phenomenon. As events begin to spin out of control, Gloria must determine why her seemingly insignificant existence has such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.
Our very own Kalyn Corrigan reviewed Colossal, calling it “a clever and fascinating mega monster movie that’s just as deeply comedic and entertaining as it is casually wise and perceptive.”
From the exciting new distribution company, Neon, Nacho Vigalondo’s widely praised monster movie will open in theaters on April 7, 2017.
Radius co-founder Tom Quinn and Alamo Drafthouse owner Tim League will distribute the film that made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
