Post Story of Your Life
Story of Your Life

Image

Directed by
Denis Villeneuve

Starring
Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker

Plot
When alien craft land across the world, a linguist expert is recruited by the military to determine whether they come in peace or are a threat. As she learns to communicate with the aliens, she begins experiencing vivid flashbacks that become the key to unlocking the greater mystery about the true purpose of their visit.

--------------

I am very interested in this film mainly because of the director, but what a strange film to choose next. I hope it's great.

Hopefully it's exciting like Prisoners and not boring like Sicario.

And Amy Adams, however airbrushed, looks astonishing in that pic.

6-7?

I'll admit that Eric's a friend of mine, but the script is still very good. I don't know about awards with the sci-fi element.

Also, Amy Adams is definitely the hottest 40+ actress out there now.

Why? Since you apparently didn't even notice, she can obviously pull it off.

Rachel weisz, Angelina Jolie, Selma Hayek, Jennifer Anniston are still up there too. We might to bring back the classic hot women polls.

I'd participate.

Salma Hayek is definitely still a babe.

Aniston, Jolie, Weisz are less so. Well, Weisz is still nice actually. But Jolie never was.

Quite possibly yes. She's hotter with age.

Yeah Hayek is still good. Looking back she was an absolute smoke show in the mid 90s.

Jolie never really did it for me either.

Anniston has aged well - especially in JGWI and HB. And that magazine cover where she's only wearing a tie.

Is it better than the other scripts credited on his IMDB page?
