Billed As: A mathematician and a language expert investigate strange alien ship landings with the fate of humanity in the balance.

Hype: As good as the story sounds, the single biggest selling point here is undoubtedly Denis Villeneuve directing. Since 2009's Polytechnique, the Canadian director has had nothing but home runs, culminating in the stunning Sicario last year.

He will direct Jeremy Renner as the mathematician alongside Amy Adams as the language expert, and everything sounds like great ingredients in a hugely intriguing high-concept sci-fi.
