Watch the newest trailer for Under the Skin, the sci-fi alien invasion movie where the monsters come in the form of Scarlett Johansson.
With the first U.S. Trailer (with a release date) for Scarlett Johansson’s Under the Skin, we discover that she has always had a special kind of pull over men. She travels the backwoods and American highways through the most remote countryside searching for a man. One that she can eat without notice.
Yes, in her newest film, which premiered earlier this year at the Venice Film Festival, Johansson plays an alien who has traveled to Earth in order to take on the appearance of an ideal human specimen, which is all the better to lure victims to their death for. However, she soon discovers from her unique perspective an appreciation for Earth’s dominant species. This epiphany puts her in direct conflict with her alien brethren who are also coming to the third rock from the sun.
The film, directed by Jonathan Glazer and based on a book by Michel Faber, offers a unique perspective to the “alien walks among us” thing, as well as the premise of a demon lover or succubus using sexuality to entice her meal. Plus, you always knew there was something a little TOO alluring about Ms. Johansson. Suddenly, it all makes sense!
Under the Skin opens April 4, 2014 in the U.S.
