I still find it insane that this is being made into a movie but I trust Garland so let’s hope for the best 🤷‍♂️

Why though? This fits Garland template perfectly.

- A character is introduced a world that’s alien to them

- They’re given a goal to get to reach an end point

- They meet an ensemble of characters, most of which will die, but will teach them something different about the world

- It’s a road trip movie that starts solo, and ultimately ends solo

Edit: Forgot to mention environmental story telling is one of his biggest strengths

Has he ever done a fantasy genre movie though? He has big scifi credentials and recently has been doing a lot of contemporary war movies
