I am really liking the idea of the new film Monsters and now we get to see the first poster for the film, and I think it loks great.

Now Magnolia Pictures has released the first poster for the film, which you can see below. The movie’s plot synopsis is as follows:
Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and grow. In an effort to stem the destruction that resulted, half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain the massive creatures… Our story begins when a jaded US journalist (McNairy) begrudgingly agrees to find his boss’ daughter, a shaken American tourist (Able) and escort her through the infected zone to the safety of the US border.
There is a bit of a 28days Later vibe crossed with District 9 going on here, and I like it.
That the “infected zone” is in Mexico and the themes to keep these illegal aliens outside the US borders is going to be a hot button for political activists, but I don’t care.
