Starring John Goodman, Captive State recently finished filming in Chicago, and ahead of the Participant Media film's release in August of 2018, Focus Features has provided us with a photo that offers the first look at Goodman in the extraterrestrial invasion movie.

"Focus Features will release the film in U.S. theaters on August 17, 2018.

CAPTIVE STATE is directed by Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Gambler), who also co-wrote the original screenplay with Erica Beeney. The cast features John Goodman, Ashton Sanders (Moonlight), Jonathan Majors and Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Vera Farmiga. The film is produced by David Crockett and Rupert Wyatt and executive produced by Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King.

Set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after an occupation by an extra-terrestrial force, CAPTIVE STATE explores the lives on both sides of the conflict – the collaborators and dissidents."
