For an upcoming episode of The Spin-off Doctors, I had to watch Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. You can also nonetheless watch the first teaser trailer for Garland's Annihilation right here , to see even far more footage. The 1st full trailer for Ex Machina director Alex Garland's new film, Annihilation, dropped right now and, properly, shit. Annihilation" is the 1st entry in VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, the other two getting Authority" and Acceptance," but Garland did not sign up with any plans for additional installments.

Based on the novel by Jeff VanderMeer, the 1st in his acclaimed Southern Reach trilogy, Annihilation casts Natalie Portman as the leader of a team of scientists (played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez and Tuva Novotny) who journey into a desolate environmental disaster location watch Annihilation (traveldescribe.comannihilationfull.com/">annihilationfull.com) to search for Portman's missing husband ( Oscar Isaac ).

Natalie Portman and Tessa Thompson in "Annihilation," primarily based on the novel by Tallahassee author Jeff VanderMeer. Garland, who 1st rose to prominence as the screenwriter of motion pictures like Dredd," 28 Days Later," and In no way Let Me Go," was asked to direct the film by Scott Rudin himself. But hopefully Garland"s Annihilation will ensnare us in other approaches that a book can't: with this awesome diverse cast of women (Jennifer Jason Leigh, in excellent casting as the psychologist, along with Natalie Portman as the biologist, Tessa Thompson, and Rodriguez - plus Oscar Isaac as the biologist"s husband).

But Garland"s Ex Machina (along with his largely satisfactory adapted screenplay for Never Let Me Go) have me trusting that Annihilation is a film worth seeking forward to. Lightspeed Magazine not too long ago posted the full text of Wired‘s Geek Guide to the Galaxy interview with Alex Garland , which runs from irreverent (he likes to be contrarian) to severe (reflective commentary on the difference among telling a story by means of a novel and a movie).
