Comments

Produced by J.J. Abrams (Star Trek) and written by Drew Goddard (Lost, Alias, Angel, Buffy), which sounds good for dealing with monsters from a character-driven perspective. I love the poster, which turns the Statue of Liberty into a chocolate Easter bunny. The film turns out to be a bit of a tease. With Michael Stahl-David (The Black Donnellys) and Jessica Lucas (CSI).
