I can’t wait for Gareth Edwards’ MONSTERS, which made a splash at SXSW earlier this year and is heading our way this October. It’s not just that the concept is cool, it’s the innovative way Edwards accomplished a sci-fi movie with very little money that interests me. (To watch a little making-of video about this, click HERE.) From the looks of it, this will be an inspiring tale for up-and-coming filmmakers who don’t have lots of cash to throw around.
Anyway, Empire Online scooped up a promo poster for the film, which is of course is a clever bit of DISTRICT 9-esque marketing. Check it out below.
Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after new life forms began to appear there and half of Mexico was quarantined as an “Infected Zone.”
Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain “the creatures”… The story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.
MONSTERS opens on OCTOBER 29th (it his the UK on November 12th); it’ll go head-to-head with Wes Craven’s MY SOUL TO TAKE.
