Comment from discussion I am Alex Garland the writer and director of the new film Annihilation AMA.
Annihilation director Alex Garland revealed that his novel The Beach is getting a new adaptation. The Beach first came out in 1997, years before Garland broke into movies as the writer of 28 Days Later, Sunshine and Dredd.
The director recently described Devs as “a tech story” about “a particular aspect of technology“ that he finds troubling.
Garland has followed that up with Annihilation, a sci-fi/horror movie based on the novel by Jeff VanderMeer.
