10 Lesser Known Movies To Look Forward To In 2017
3. Annihilation
Very little is known about this movie at present time, but what we do know is enough to get you salivating furiously. Written and directed by Alex Garland, the genius madman behind 28 Days Later and Ex-Machina, Annihilation comes packed with some serious pedigree.
Based on the well-received first book of the Southern Reach trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation promises to be a dystopic smorgasbord following a troupe of scientists tasked with exploring an abandoned region known only as Area X, which has claimed the lives of many explorers who’ve come before.
In all seriousness, Alex Garland, take my money you magnificent sci-fi fiend.
With the likes of Natalie Portman, Gina Rodriguez and Garland favourite Oscar Isaac signed on to star, Annihilation has all the hallmarks of being the grounded, futuristic movie we all lucidly crave for like skint junkies hankering for one more fix.
