Readers who have experienced Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation, book 1 of the Southern Reach Trilogy (a must-read for anyone who enjoys Lovecraftian, mind-bending horror), know that it's a truly hypnotic, increasingly unsettling experience, and you can now enter the Southern Reach in the chilling first trailer for Alex Garland's film adaptation of Annihilation, which shows beautiful, otherworldly nature intermingled with something... else.
"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. It was written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, 28 Days Later)."
Paramount Pictures will release Annihilation in theaters on February 23rd, 2018, and we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated on the film as we get closer to the movie's release... and the edge of the Reach.
