This sounds so good.
Ex Machina director Alex Garland looks to have found the star of his next sci-fi film, Annihilation.
Sources tell Variety that Natalie Portman is in early talks to star in the adaptation of the Jeff VanderMeer novel for Garland and Paramount Pictures. Scott Rudin is producing.
Garland will write and direct the pic that follows a biologist who signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition where the laws of nature dont apply. Paramount had no comment.

Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton are reportedly chasing after the co-star role), but for now, check out the Amazon synopsis below.
Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide, the third expedition in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeers Southern Reach trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition.
The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one anotioner, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.
This sounds so good.
