MONSTERS was the film that launched director Gareth Edwards. Following on from the success of his guerrilla baby Edwards has gone on to direct GODZILLA and is now hard at work on the first stand alone STAR WARS movie, STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE.
MONSTERS might be a distant memory for Edwards but the studio that helped birth it Vertigo Films have been hard beavering away on a sequel. Misfits director Tom Green has stepped into the shoes of Edwards and his offering MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT hits the UK on 1st May. Ahead of the release we’ve managed to get our hands on the latest trailer for the film, watch it now.
As you can see it seems that the sequel is going down the soldier route, not unlike a certain James Cameron sequel. Set ten years after the events of MONSTERS the plot finds a group of new recruits sent on a rescue mission deep into monster territory. The trailer is pointing to a much higher octane version of the story which may appeal to those that didn’t get the first film.
MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT stars Game of Thrones and Skins actor Joe Dempsie, Sam Keeley, Sofia Boutella and Fortitude‘s Johnny Harris and lands in cinemas on 1st May.
