Oscar Isaac is
reuniting with his Ex Machina filmmaker Alex Garland for Annihilation, an
adaptation of the first novel in author Jeff VanderMeer's Southern
Reach book series, which Garland is writing and directing.
The story follows the twelfth expedition to Area X, a
patch of land in the U.S. that has been secretly quarantined due to anomalies.
Their mission is to map the terrain, record their findings, and above all
survive the area.
Consisting of an anthropologist, a surveyor, a
psychologist, the de facto leader, and a biologist who acts as the story
narrator, the group arrives at Area X expecting the unexpected and the
mysterious land delivers. Upon arriving at Area X, the four women discover a
massive topographic anomaly and life forms that defy any scientific
understanding, but it is the surprises that come across the border with them,
and the secrets they keep from each other that will change everything.
Area X is dangerous place. The first
expedition returned with reports of a pristine landscape, the second ended in
mass suicide, the third in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on each
another, the members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their
former selves, and within weeks, all died of cancer.
Isaac joins Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, and Gina
Rodriguez.
