Oscar Isaac reunites with Ex Machina director for Annihilation

Tracking Board is reporting that Paramount Pictures‘ upcoming futuristic gothic horror adaptation Annihilation, based on the first part of novelist Jeff VanderMeer’s “Southern Reach” trilogy, has added Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Inside Llewyn Davis) to the cast. He’ll join a roster that already includes Academy Award winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan, Thor), “Jane the Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez and Tessa Thompson (Creed). The film will reunite Isaac with Alex Garland, the writer and director behind last year’s critically-acclaimed sci-fi thriller Ex Machina.

Annihilation, first published in 2014, is officially described as follows:

A team of four (a biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a surveyor) set out into a place known as Area X. The area is abandoned and cut off from the rest of civilization. They are the 12th expedition. The other expeditions have been fraught with disappearances, suicides, aggressive cancers, and mental trauma.

Paramount Pictures and producer Scott Rudin (also a producer on Ex Machina) acquired the movie rights to the entire 2014 trilogy last year. “Annihilation” published in March 2015, was followed by “Authority” in May and “Acceptance” in September.

Isaac will next be seen playing the titular baddie in this summer’s X-Men: Apocalypse, and he is currently reprising his role of Poe Dameron in Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII.
