Garland is now making his directorial debut with the acclaimed science fiction film “Ex-Machina,” after earlier scripting the influential zombie thriller “28 Days Later” and seeing his first book, “The Beach,” turned into the Leonardo DiCaprio adventure. The 2007 Danny Boyle-directed space thriller “Sunshine,” which Garland wrote, particularly drove home the lesson. “The thing I really felt about ‘Sunshine’ almost while we were making it, is that we were spending too much money,” says Garland. “When you’re spending that much money, either consciously or unconsciously, you start to think about recoup- ing. You start to think about the business of film and trying to make it entertaining or trying to adrenalize it at moments Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi when it’s the wrong thing to do.” Garland’s “Ex-Machina,” which opens in theaters April 10, was made for $15 million, not the $50 million it took to make Anno and Higuchi to direct “Sunshine,” a philosophical journey to the sun that eventually dissolved into more of a monster movie. “Ex-Machina,” howev- ‘Godzilla 2016’ er, holds its trance throughout the tale of a young computer Toho’s programmer (Domhnall Gleeson) who flies to the remote lair of Oscar Isaac, right, appears on the set with filmmaker Alex Garland during the making of the science fiction film ‘Ex-Machina.’ — AP op Japanese film-makers Hideaki Anno Anno worked on the animation of Hayao a tech billionaire (Oscar Isaac), and is introduced to a very real- and Shinji Higuchi will team up to co- Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli-produced “Nausicaa istic artificial intelligence (Alicia Vikander). direct “Godzilla (2016)”, the new in the Valley of Wind.” He later directed anime T New generation Japanese version of the iconic Godzilla mon- series including “Gunbuster,” “Nadia: The ster movie franchise.

Alcuni soldati- cloni appartenenti a tre diverse tribù militari si combattono senza soluzione di continuità via aria, terra e con ogni mezzo tecnologico. Un clone, Khara, riesce a fuggire dalla battaglia e si ritrova in fuga assieme ad un gruppo di improbabili compagni. Tentando di scoprire qualcosa in più sulle loro esistenze, si troveranno davanti ad una spietata verità e alla più grande battaglia della loro vita. SINOSSI In un futuro prossimo e non ben specificato, il pianeta Annwn è in guerra. Le tribù dei cloni guerrieri conosciuti come GARM combattono perennemente l'uno contro l'altro per la supremazia. Ma i combattimenti senza fine cominciano lentamente a farsi sentire. Delle otto tribù Garm che iniziarono la guerra, ne rimangono solo tre: i COLUMBA, che governano il cielo con eleganti caccia simili a uccelli chiamati ‘sei ali’; i BRIGA, che governano la terra con carri armati e artiglierie muscolari; e i KUMTAK, padroni della tecnologia, servi dei Briga e responsabili della manutenzione delle loro reti di comunicazione. Nel corso di una schermaglia di routine tra Columba e Briga, nella steppa del deserto, il pilota Columba Khara-22 combatte contro i Briga, manovra abilmente il suo sei ali tra il fuoco anti-aereo, scatenando il caos.
