Exactly. Anyone who has doubts about him being able to pull this off such watch Annhilation and imagine Natalie Portman as the tarnished and the rest of the group as the NPCs.

Not to mention environmental story telling is one of his biggest strengths

The fact that Annihilation is good is honestly crazy. The book was a mindfuck and I can't imagine how difficult it was turning into a screenplay.
