With so many reboots and sequels happening in Hollywood, there is a lot of desire for some original, or at least non-franchise related movies. Sony is going to provide sci-fi fans with something original next month in the form ofLife, which featuresJake GyllenhaalandRyan Reynoldsdealing with a deadly new form of life discovered on Mars. Now, Sony has released a brand new, full-length trailer forLifethat gives us a much better idea of what to expect from the new sci-fi thriller.
Sony Picturesuploaded the brand new trailer online, which gives us our best look atLifeyet. The studio is also airing a couple ofSuper Bowl spotsfor the movie, which have also been released online already. This new trailer expands on what we saw in the first teaser and looks to be a serious homage toRidley Scott’s originalAlien. In the video, we finally get a few glimpses of the deadly, mysterious alien creature that is threatening the astronaut crew that discovers it. Here is the official synopsis forLife.
“Life tells the story of the six-member crew of the International Space Station that is on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. As the crew begins to conduct research, their methods end up having unintended consequences and the life form proves more intelligent than anyone ever expected.”
Lifeis being directed byDaniel Espinosa, who worked withRyan Reynoldspreviously on the movieSafe House, which also starred Oscar-winnerDenzel Washington. He also directed the crime dramaEasy Moneyand last year, he directedChild 44, which was panned by critics, but featured a great cast that includedJoel Kinnaman,Tom HardyandGary Oldman. The reunion ofDaniel EspinosaandRyan Reynoldsis worth mentioning, but it is no doubt the reunion of theDeadpoolstar withZombielandscreenwritersRhett ReeseandPaul Wernickthat has people excited. Sony is probably hoping a little bit of thatDeadpoolmagic rubs off, because the movie will be facing some stiff competition at the box office. Lionsgate is also releasing theirPower Rangersreboot on the same day, and Warner Bros. has their R-rated take onCHiPsalso pegged for that weekend. Not only that, but Disney is releasing their live-action version ofBeauty and the Beastjust one week prior, so moviegoers will have a lot to choose from.
