Mexico is a quarantine zone…
Shortly after its South by South West premiere, Magnet Releasing snatched up Gareth Edwards’ Monsters.
Produced by Allan Niblo and James Richardson of Vertigo Films, the film was shot as a road movie, travelling through Guatemala, Mexico and the US, involving local people alongside its key cast Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able (All the Boys Love Mandy Lane).
Six years ago previously, a NASA probe returning to earth with samples of an alien life form, crashed over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear, and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain “the creatures”… The story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.
