2010’s Monsters became a huge success – as it was made for virtually no money (some of the effects were done of home computers) and found an audience all around the world. It also got Gareth Edwards the job directing Godzilla.
It’s taken a while but now comes Monsters: Dark Continent – and as the name of this trailer suggests, you’d better look out for giant sand bugs.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Seven years on from the events of Monsters, and the ‘Infected Zones’ have spread worldwide. Humans have been knocked off the top of the food chain, with disparate communities struggling for survival. American soldiers are being sent abroad to protect US interests from the Monsters, but the war is far from being won.
‘Noah, a haunted soldier with several tours under his belt, is sent on a mission: an American soldier has gone rogue deep in the Infected Zone, and Noah must reach him and take him out. But when Noah’s unit and transport are destroyed, he finds himself with only a young and inexperienced cadet for company – the brother of the man Noah has been sent to kill.
‘The two soldiers must go on a life-altering journey through the dark heart of monster territory, accompanied by a young local woman to guide them. By the time the three of them reach their goal, they will have been forced to confront the fear that the true monsters on the planet may not be alien after all.’
It’s due out in the UK in September.
