The Skyline movie has been keeping a fairly low profile up until late July when Skyline viral advertising hit the San Diego Comic Con event. They had some cool viral goodies and what not, but now, now we get to see a truly disturbing teaser trailer for Skyline. It’s disturbing in a good way, that the trailer already sucked me in to the idea of the story.
In the last few moments of the trailer, they present a visual I don’t think I’ve ever seen in a movie… and, (here comes the pun) it sucks! You’ll see.
Skyline has a fairly fresh cast with
- Eric Balfour (Spread, The Spirit),
- Donald Faison (Something New, Remember the Titans),
- David Zayas (The Expendables, Michael Clayton),
- Scottie Thompson (Star Trek; TV Series: Trauma, NCIS) &
- Brittney Daniel (White Chicks, TV Series: The Game).
The movie is directed & produced by Greg & Colin Strause. (Visual Effects Designers for The Book of Eli, Avatar and many other big hits.) Yes, these are the Brothers Strause who directed AVPR, but I’m not holding that against them because they didn’t write it. I think they’ve had enough experience with great movies that they would have an idea of how to present a story. The movie is written by Joshua Cordes & Liam O’Donnell. Aside from being animators, this looks like their first serious writing gig. Oh boy.
The movie plot for Skyline:
“After a late night party, a group of friends are awoken in the dead of the night by an eerie light beaming through the window. Like moths to a flame, the light source is drawing people outside before they suddenly vanish into the air. They soon discover an otherworldly force is swallowing the entire human population off the face of the earth. Now our band of survivors must fight for their lives as the world unravels around them.”
Notice the little "people" floating up, R 1/2 of image?
Skyline is due out 11/12/10. Hmm, interesting mix of numbers. Without further adieu, here’s the movie teaser for Skyline:
