The Ex Machina director has another film coming this year.
Annihilation
>Four scientists - a biologist, a psychologist, a anthropologist and a surveyor - venture into a place known as "Area X", where the laws of physics don't apply, and embark into a mind-warping journey that leads them to the edge of sanity.
>Natalie Portman as The Biologist. >Rachel Leigh Cook as the Psychologist. >Gina Rodriguez as The Surveyor. >Tessa Thompson as the Anthropologist. >Oscar Isaac as The Biologist's Husband, the sole survivor of a previous expedition to Area X.
Sounds like Trank's F4 but without the expectation of being a superhero movie
William Taylor
Looking forward to it.
Jayden Foster
Yeah way to degrade this amazing concept by comparing it to comic book garbage but anyway this sounds awesome
Mason Perez
so basically stalker
Lucas Myers
>Book synopsis:
Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; all the members of the second expedition committed suicide; the third expedition died in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another; the members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within months of their return, all had died of aggressive cancer.
This is the twelfth expedition.
Their group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain and collect specimens; to record all their observations, scientific and otherwise, of their surroundings and of one another; and, above all, to avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.
They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding—but it’s the surprises that came across the border with them, and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another, that change everything.

>turns out Natalie Portman is Ava and she created Area X
Jaxon Jenkins
I think it's going to be kino as fuck.
Owen Brown
>don't compare it to a shit comic-book film even if it sounds exactly the same! Ex_Machina was great, but this sounds uninspired
Gabriel Bailey
>scp : the movie
Josiah Nelson
>Four scientists - a biologist, a psychologist, a anthropologist and a surveyor - venture into a place known as "Area X", where the laws of physics don't apply, and embark into a mind-warping journey that leads them to the edge of sanity.
So a Stalker rip off with none of the genius of the original?
Josiah Smith
>>Four scientists - a biologist, a psychologist, a anthropologist and a surveyor - venture into a place known as "Area X", where the laws of physics don't apply, and embark into a mind-warping journey that leads them to the edge of sanity.
So not stalker?
Ryder Cook
>tfw read the books after hearing about the movie being made and now I'm hype as fuck
Ian Ortiz
Nice, i'm early enough to read the books and feel superior to movie only plebs.
Dylan Anderson
This is exactly what the books are and you should read them if you haven't. It's basically low-key creepy shit the whole way through without any big reveal or "oh shit the monsters are killing everyone" moment. Just weird from the beginning to the end. I hope they get it right in the movie so I can have pure creepykino.
Henry Robinson
Arrival was a Contact rip off The Matrix was a Ghost in the Shell/Neuromancer rip off Star Wars was a Flash Gordon rip off
good sci-fi borrows shit all the time
Blake Butler
I'll get the book
Jacob Lee
>So a Stalker rip off >doesn't realize Stalker is a rip off of a Heart of Darkness
Carson Garcia
There are 3, which are less than 200 pages each if I remember correctly, so you can get through the whole thing in a day or two. Also the narration's pretty good in that the 3 books tell really different stories that add to a larger universe and tell their stories in very different ways.
Jace Wilson
Ex machina is an overrated piece of shit.
Matthew James
sounds like a Stalker remake
Jack King
So are you
Parker White
Stalker is being remade with an all-female cast?
Christopher Jenkins
>The Matrix you got it wrong the matrix is a religious take on simulacron 3
SW is a rip of Fundation´s the mule psych powers
Robert Gutierrez
No, you retard. In order to be overrated, something must get extraordinary amounts of praise, and that praise must be unjustified. Last I checked, Ex Machina got generally positive critics, but it was never claimed to be the film of the decade. And it was indeed a good movie. So it doesn't fit any of the requirement to be overrated, nor a piece of shit. My conclusion is that you're a fucking retard and you should end your life right now.
Ian Lopez
It's got nothing at all to do with Stalker though.
Nicholas Richardson
this nigga loves oscar isaac
Jacob Kelly
Looking forward to it, Ex Machina was good
Jeremiah Miller
To what extent are we talking 'where the laws of physics don't apply'?
Thomas Cook
>Stalker: Murrica Edition
no fucking thanks
Anthony James
See There's not that much obviously crazy shit going on, mostly just a weird atmosphere and shit seeming out of place.
Michael Peterson
Sounds cool, I'll check it out. A little bit like Stalker.
Jack Peterson
Annihilation is a pretty good read.
Finch is the Vandermeer novel that should've been made a movie imo.
Owen Phillips
Stalker: Feminist Edition actually
Nolan Ross
Don't be so upset over simple comment. Face it. The movie sucks.
Lincoln Russell
>all the "scientists" are female
Jonathan Jones
Stalker for plebs then
Jaxon Sullivan
Nice comeback, bro.
Colton Bell
so is BLACKED com the new place for reaction faces?
I imagine hundreds of user signing up for it just for the faces, kek.
Brody Collins
Who doesn't?
Oliver Robinson
Sup Forums pls go I'm the first to complain when Hollyjew tries to force muh stronk women down my throat or turning male characters into female characters, but >there is actually a story reason why the whole team is women >in real life, psychologists and biologists are more likely to be women, so that's realistic >the fact that they're women actually lead them to make some pretty stupid whimsical decisions and fuck shit up Read it before you complain.
Not an argument.
Samuel Perry
So are you
Jace Morales
>venture into a place known as "Area X", where the laws of physics don't apply, and embark into a mind-warping journey that leads them to the edge of sanity
Already seen it. Fucking hack.
PS Ex Machina was over-hyped garbage and is an excellent idiot litmus test.
>huur duur babbys fist AI-Box Experiment
Alexander Hill
Poor man's Stalker.
Jackson Morales
Say it with me Sup Forums, S T E R I L E
Brandon Gutierrez
>apologist tirade on why it's okay for the main characters to be women
Really fucking pathetic my man. You're just as awful as the Sup Forums-fags.
>people going into a forbidden wilderness, it must be Le Stalker amirite XD?
Fuck off retard. I do agree with you on Ex Machine though.
William Thomas
>rachel leigh cook
i thought she gave up because nobody would give her any more roles
Ryder Ross
Except the director is from England.
Hudson Barnes
Ex Machina had one GOAT scene, and you know the one.
>everyone pretending stalker was a good flick Never read the book but the movie was boring as fuck. And I like the other tark movies I've seen.
Ayden Baker
>tessa thompson this bitch cannot act for shit why is she being pushed so hard
Anthony Brown
Did this just turn into an Antartica thread
Landon Brooks
>venture into a place known as "Area X", where the laws of physics don't apply >Don't bring a physicist
Cameron James
they couldn't find a female physicist
Jack Garcia
>4 female "scientists" FUCKING DROPPED
Gavin Nelson
I enjoyed this series. If any anons want to read it, just know that you'll end up with just as many questions as answers, but there are some good and unsettling scenes.
