Garland has a number of projects in the works, including a film called Civil War with Kirsten Dunst, as well as a feature adaptation script for the video game series Halo, which is set to debut on Paramount+.
Buckley was recently nominated for an Oscar for her work in The Lost Daughter, but she is also well known for other works, such as Dolittle with Robert Downey Jr., Judy with Renée Zellweger, and the HBO mini-series Chernobyl. The film also stars No Time to Die'sRory Kinnear, and appears to be in line with Garland's eerie but beautiful cinematic style and sensibilities, not to mention the smooth, clean aesthetic and haunting appeal of his prior films. Kinnear is best known for his roles in the James Bond franchise, as well as for his roles in The Intimidation Game and Southcliffe.
Garland has been making smart, trippy, and haunting sci-fi/horror related material for years now, and has established a unique style of eerie, slow-burn storytelling that's both energetic and hypnotic at once. Buckley plays a woman going on vacation to the English countryside after the death of her ex- husband in Men. The zombie-thriller 28 days later and the sci-fi thriller sunshine were both written by Garland. The director goes the extra mile in creating complex characters for the horrible situations they're put in, making his work stand out in a more refined way.
Men | Official Teaser Trailer:
The Natalie Portman led sci-fi film Annihilation was one of the films that Garland extended his directing portfolio to. The film was called "something truly extraordinary, and reassuringly weird" by Garland's cinematographer.
The first trailer for Garland's latest directorial effort, Men, has been revealed. The director made his TV debut with the series DEVs, starring Sonoya Mizuno and Nick Offerman. Garland began his career as a novelist, writing The Beach, which would later be adapted by director Danny Boyle and star Leonardo DiCaprio. The comic-book adaptation of Dredd starring Karl Urban was ghost- directed by the filmmaker. The first trailer for Alex Garland's new film, Men, has arrived. The actress made her biggest splash with the musical drama Wild Rose, about a Scottish woman becoming a Nashville country star. It's not clear how well Men will stack up against his previous works, but Garland is an exciting filmmaker and storyteller who manages to challenge viewers as much as he entertains them. The Men trailer and poster can be seen below.
