Annihilation - from Ex Machina writer/director Alex Garland

[4thWallBreaker]

I'm up for it. Ex Machina was my favorite of 2015.

I read the first book over Christmas. It is a good thing that Garland said the movie will be loosely based on the book because it would be difficult to turn the book into a watchable movie if you tried to directly adapt it.

Garland mentions in this interview that "If everything goes to plan we start prep in three weeks and shoot in May."

Article also mentions:

Official now.

And you’ve got Natalie Portman and Gina Rodriguez starring

AG: Right. We’re going to be shooting most of it in the UK, but probably not all of it. If everything goes to plan we start prep in three weeks and shoot in May.

Very, very good news.

After finally seeing Ex Machina I'm even more excited for this. I've always really liked Garland as a writer but he's just as proven as a director now.

Glad you liked it. Best thing about Garland's sci-f is the variety. He approaches every diffrent kind of sub-genre, theme and tone with the same kind of respect.

Can't wait for this.

Yeah, I never thought of it like that before. Which I think in part is why he's so good. It's not so obvious. He can blend in to what the material requires.

I watched Ex Machina the other night and like you I'm definitely more interest to see what Garland does next.

David Gyasi has joined Natalie Portman in Alex Garland’s “Annihilation” at Paramount Pictures.

“Jane the Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Oscar Isaac will also star with Garland directing and adapting the script based on the Jeff VanderMeer novel.

The story follows a biologist, to be played by Portman, as she embarks on a four-person expedition into Area X, a territory cut off from civilization. While there, she must deal with a mysterious contamination, disappearing colleagues, a deadly animal and a being known as the Crawler, all while searching for clues regarding her husband’s disappearance.

Scott Rudin is producing “Annihilation.” While no release date has been set, production is underway.

Gyasi currently stars on the CW sci-fi show “Containment,” which premiered early this month and has already shown ratings growth in its second week.

Gyasi’s past credits include the Wachowskis’ “Cloud Atlas” opposite Tom Hanks, and Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar.” He is repped by United Agents and Management 360.

Garland and Hollywood have proved to be a match made in heaven

 

[Sithborg]

Looking forward to it.

 

[Boom]

Seriously anticipating this. A gothic-horror sci-fi? From the man behind Ex Machina? Take my money.
