Let the Invasion Begin

Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo has announced his next film, Extraterrestre (Alien). The director gave a plot description (translated by Sci Fi Latino) on his blog:

“Vigalondo writes that this will not be like a War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise, where a regular person manages to somehow closely witness all major invasion events. He writes that most people will experience a global alien invasion without even knowing it has happened, by listening to rumors, or engaging in pointless activities. Hence Extraterrestre.”

I like it — first of all it doesn’t involve Tom Cruise, so how can it go wrong? Secondly: creepy and foreign language are a great combination and Vigalondo has proven he knows how to mess with our minds. I have no idea what’s going on in the teaser poster, but really, isn’t that the point of a great teaser? The less you know, the more freaky things can go.

Timecrimes was brilliant. I don't give a shit what my ex and her then-boyfriend said when I loaned them the DVD. It's one of the best time travel films ever made!

This is going to be great. I loved Timecrimes, and I love his short films, and the fact that he's doing an alien movie made me think of this one.

That was brilliant.

I wish I could find this really funny one he did, something about 'It's not the future, it's just sci-fi." I laughed my ass off.

Agreed, very well written and can't wait for the second half.
