After “District 9” came out of nowhere to take over the box office and even managed to snag a nomination slot for Best Picture at the Oscars, it’s no surprise that studios are trying to mimic that success.
Thus we have “Monsters.” The film, marking the feature debut by Gareth Edwards takes place six years ago after “a NASA probe landed back in the New Mexico desert containing samples of alien life – which promptly grew, proliferated and turned the southern US and north of Mexico into an alien-occupied zone. Now, a US journalist agrees to escort an American tourist back through the no-man’s land to safety.” And judging by the trailer and clip debuted earlier this year at SXSW, things get a little messy.
No word yet on a release date, but Magnet Releasing is handling the film on this side of the pond. [IGN/Empire/Screenhead/Bleeding Cool]
