Just hours after it was announced that Jessie Buckley has received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her role in The Lost Daughter, A24 has unveiled (via Twitter) a poster for the horror film Men, starring Buckley. Along with the poster comes the promise that a teaser trailer for the movie will be released tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that!
Men is written and directed by Alex Garland, who previously directed the films Ex Machina and Annihilation (and reportedly did some uncredited directing work on the comic book adaptation Dredd, which he also scripted). Men is said to be about
a young woman who goes on a solo vacation to the English countryside after the death of her ex-husband.
And that’s all we know about it. The poster adds the tagline “What Haunts You Will Find You” into the mix, and gives us an image of a tunnel that appears to be lined with snakeskin. Now all we can do is speculate about what that might mean. Hopefully the teaser will give us some more information tomorrow.
Buckley is joined in the cast by Rory Kinnear, who played John Clare on Penny Dreadful and was Bill Tanner in the last four James Bond movies, and Paapa Essiedu, who viewers may know from Gangs of London and I May Destroy You.
In addition to Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Dredd, Garland’s credits include writing 28 Days Later, Sunshine, and Never Let Me Go, and creating the series Devs. The films The Beach and The Tesseract were based on novels he wrote. We first heard about Men in November of 2020, at which time Garland simply described it as “a low budget horror movie, set in the UK.”
What do you think of this eerie Men poster? The movie was produced by Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, with Cahal Bannon co-producing.
