            Yesterday, we saw the first look photos for the new Amy Adams/Jeremy Renner led film Arrival; today, we get our first look in the teaser trailer. The film is directed by Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Sicario) who is working with both of these Academy Award nominated actors for the first time.

            Amy Adams plays an expert linguist who is enlisted by the U.S. government when a mysterious alien spacecraft enters Earth’s atmosphere and hovers above the ground. Along with Renner, who plays a physicist, Adams’ character is tasked to investigate and communicate with the extraterrestrials. The premise sounds incredible for the movie previously titled Story of Your Life and it’s a welcome change for the Sci-Fi genre, similar to what Christopher Nolan did with Interstellar. I was a huge fan of both Sicario and Prisoners, so anything that Villeneuve is a part of, I’m on board to watch.

           Again, this is only a tease showing just about a minute of footage before the official full-length trailer on August 16^th. Arrival will open in theaters on November 11^th and stars Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker and Michael Stuhlbarg.
