*Hulu has released the first trailer and key art for its alien-invasion thriller “No One Will Save You,” starring Kaitlyn Dever.
“I wanted the movie to take the lead of a small intimate character study and drop an alien invasion on top of them,” said Brian Duffield, who wrote and directed the 20th Century Studios project, per Deadline. “The end of the world won’t only be for those that are ready for it, and the idea of an alien movie rudely bursting the bubble our character has spent years building and cultivating felt like a unique way to tell a favorite story.”
As stated in the studio’s news release, Duffield set out to create a character so compelling that viewers would want to learn more about her with or without aliens.
“I think there’s a deeply buried feeling that every alien invasion movie could turn out to be true because they remain such an unknown in our daily lives,” said Duffield, per the release. “As our world careens more and more out of control, maybe there’s even a desire that there’s something out there smarter than us that can help put us on a more sane path. The aliens in ‘No One Will Save You’ are superior to humans in every way, which makes Brynn and her surprising resistance somewhat puzzling to them.”
Dever stars as Brynn, who’s a formidable fighter when it comes to her unwelcome and unearthly intruders.
“We were so excited to have Kaitlyn join us because—like Brynn being thrust into a whole new world—Kaitlyn had never done a movie so aggressively physical and sci-fi before,” Duffield said. “I think audiences will be blown away by how commanding Kaitlyn is on screen as she uses her solitude and silence to create a truly unique and complex character.”
“No One Will Save You” begins streaming on Sept. 22, 2023, exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ in all other territories.
