The
teaser trailer for Alex Garland's ("Ex Machina", "28 Days Later")
highly anticipated next project is finally here.
Based on Jeff
VanderMeer's environmental sci-fi novel Annihilation, the story follows the twelfth expedition to Area X, a patch of land in
the U.S. that the government has secretly quarantined due to certain anomalies.
The team's 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 a 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.
Opening in theaters on February 23,
2018, Annihilation stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa
Thompson, Gina Rodriguez, Tuva Novotny, and Oscar Isaac.
