New movie coming out in November, looks intriguing:

Love the premise

Will wait and see on the execution

Would have liked it better with more of an indy feel to it, methinks.

Looks interesting. I hope they don't continue to give away the story in future trailers though. I saw the initial teaser to this and it showed nothing about the aliens and I was hooked.

Yeah, that trailer was way to revealing ...

The novella it´s based on is pretty great btw, though it looks like not a lot has made it other than the basic premise. But that´s not bad in itself, because the novella basically would make for a 20 minute (very philosophical) short at best

Amy Adams is hit-or-miss for me, but everything else looks promising ... Just look at the last few films those people made. The Director did Sicario (bloody amazing crime thriller) and a ton of other stuff that´s basically all great to super great. The cinematographer did A Most Violent Year as well as Selma.

Also has Forrest Whitaker, who has a weird amount of shit and/or straight to DVD films since his amazing turn in Last King of Scotland that he won an Oscar for.

I could care less about "indy feel" btw. I´m pretty much over scifi-related films that are good but could be awesome if only they had some real money. And while of course lots of big money Scifi films suck: if you get a great script/material and get a great director and have people in charge that care, i´d rather it be made with money behind.
