The world is being swallowed by the mysterious and terrifying force known as “The Shimmer” in Alex Garland’s Annihilation, headed to the big screen in just under a month.
What lies inside this bizarre, extraterrestrial plane? We won’t know for sure until next month, but a new featurette video today teases that whatever it is, it isn’t good…
Paramount will release Annihilation on February 23, 2018.
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 when initially announced.
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.
