We've had District 9 and Cloverfield emerge from obscurity to big-screen blockbuster success, and now the latest monster movie hoping to join them is Monsters, from writer/director Gareth Edwards. And here's the distinctly District 9-echoing poster for what looks like a proper monster tale.
The plot is this: six years ago, a NASA probe landed back in the New Mexico desert containing samples of alien life - which promptly grew, proliferated and turned the southern US and north of Mexico into an alien-occupied zone. Now, a US journalist agrees to escort an American tourist back through the no-man's land to safety. Judging by this clip from South-by-Southwest this year, all will not go smoothly. Check out the poster and a few images below.
**Monsters **is due out on November 12 here from Vertigo. Keep your eyes peeled.
