Hollywood rarely writes prominent parts for Asian American and American Indian characters, and those roles could’ve bolstered the careers of women from those communities.
Writer/director Alex Garland is not being true and honest to the characters in the book.
Annihilation also stars Oscar Isaac as the Biologist’s husband (another role that has been somewhat expanded), and Benedict Wong as the Scientist.
I read a book and I adapted it because I thought the book was amazing.
