    Yes, Annihilation will stream on Paramount starting August 1. No, the movie wasn't much hated. No, it didn't flop in the usual way. The new Paramount leadership suffocated it by releasing on too few screens. Per screen take was robust. share.google/4PHbY6q65jJk...

    AHHHHHH IT’S BEEN APPROVED! I can’t believe I’m saying this but one of the paintings I did for my senior thesis in 2018 (a movie poster for Annihilation) was just licensed and will be released as a steelbook cover for the film! Huge thank you to Astro Creations in the UK for making it happen!

    Watching Annihilation and about to hit the bear scene. I genuinely don’t think there’s a scarier monster in modern horror. I love this movie. I hate this bear (in the most loving, horror geek way possible).

    My friend @melikhovo.bsky.social, in trying to situate the Annihilation movie within the world of the Area X novels, has suggested "the movie is propaganda put out by the Southern Reach." 😂

    On this day in 2018, Central's disinformation film about Area X, Annihilation, was released in theaters in the US. The film included several subliminal cues / hypnotic suggestions intended to blunt investigations by non governmental agencies, while testing psych tech developed by the Southern Reach

    Have to keep saying this because it was literally a bulletpoint of Paramount's PR: The novel Annihilation is *not* unfilmable. It actually owes a lot to horror expedition movies, including Alien, plus my real-world and real-expedition influence, and has more decision points and plot than the movie.

You can buy festival passes at the link--and on March 27, if there are seats left, they'll release those as just Annihilation tickets. omsi.edu/exhibits/sci...

    Did you know Absolution has the highest ratio of fucks and alligators relative to other words of any novel ever written? Did you also know noted actor Bronson Pinchot had to say all those fbombs for the audiobook? And did you know there is more gator in Absolution than the Annihilation movie?

    Paddington Bear (the film version) and the half-skeletal soul-eating bear thing from Annihilation were made by the same VFX team. They wanted to name Annihilation Bear after a less salubrious London railway station. It's called Homerton. I am not making this up.

    'Cyberpunk 2077' Movie In The Works At Paramount. > Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached to produce alongside CD Projekt Red I see two potential outcomes here. Either this movie never gets made or we'll *wish* it had never been made. Lorenzo di Bonaventura has previously produced movies such as Madame Web, Transformers: The Last Knight, the GI Joe movie Snake Eyes, and Doom: Annihilation (did you know they made a second Doom movie??). That isn't a good sign. Don't get me wrong, I'm always…
