Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, Annihilation stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac.
Garland finally returns with his follow-up next winter; the film is called Annihilation, based on a book by Jeff VanderMeer, and it stars Natalie Portman as a woman who is trying to save her husband (Oscar Isaac) after he joins an expedition that goes horribly wrong.
From the look of the trailer and its gorgeous but disturbing imagery, it definitely seems like he was up to the challenge.
Garland has been a successful writer for decades, but Ex Machina announced him as a major directorial talent as well.
