EW has debuted the first official image from Alex garland's (Dredd, Ex Machina) latest sci-fi movie, Annihilation.

The pic features Natalie Portman's (Black Swan, Thor, the Star Wars prequels) character Lena, who is a scientist tasked with exploring an area which has been taken over by a mysterious force. “It is their first tangible encounter with something strange,” explains Garland, referring to the image of Lena and that  very odd looking gator. “The alligator has physical elements to it that should not belong on an alligator. They’re starting to get their heads around how weird the place is.”

Annihilation is an adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer's novel, and also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tuva Novotny, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson and Oscar Isaac. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on Feb. 23, 2018.

I love how this guy made one good movie and now every movie he makes is going to be a potential masterpiece lol.

Anyway, I just read the wiki for the novel and it sounds really fascinating.
