Can’t wait for this one! The first trailer for the new movie Pandorum, due out in September. From the creators of the “Resident Evil” film franchise comes “Pandorum,” a terrifying thriller in which two crew members wake up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they’ve been asleep, or what their mission is. The two soon discover they’re actually not alone — and the reality of their situation is more horrifying than they could have imagined.

Jackson explains the backstory behind what we’re seeing in the trailer, to answer at least a few questions. “These aliens arrived 20 years ago in a dead, derelict mothership, which hovers above Johannesburg. It’s enormous, like the size of 10 football fields. The aliens have ended up in a Soweto-style township beneath the ship. It’s clear that they’re not really integrating into society. They like to scavenge things, rip up train tracks. So the authorities shift them 200 miles away, into the African belt. They’ve built a concentration camp.” And of course, that’s when things get crazy. “The resident’s of Joburg want them gone.”

So I finally saw The Objective last night, and I gotta tell ya it didn’t leave me disappointed like many of the posts I’ve read online. It’s definitely a thinking man’s movie though. You’re not going to be spoon fed. Director Daniel Myrick sets up the story and lets the audience decide much like he did as the co-creator of The Blair Witch Project.

Finally, something other than another ’80s horror flick remake, an actual honest-to-goodness, original story. I know, I couldn’t believe it either. I guess there are some real film makers left. Speaking of which, the movie is directed by Daniel Myrick, one of the co-creators of The Blair Witch Project. The Objective looks to me anyway, like a supernatural thriller. And the premise is really wild.

It takes place in Afghanistan two months after 911, where we follow a team of special op guys and one iffy CIA dude. Their mission is to make contact with a Muslim cleric but they end up meeting something unexpected. And not too friendly I’m guessing.
