We’ve got a full trailer for the upcoming movie, Elevation, which sees Anthony Mackie, Morena Baccarin, and Maddie Hasson battling Earth’s new apex predator.
The trailer gives us a lot more details than the previously released teaser. For one thing, it confirms my educated guess that these human-killing monsters (who are probably aliens from outer space, though the trailer doesn’t confirm that) can’t survive at high elevations. We even learn the specific height that makes the monsters turn away: 8,000 feet. That means that much of the U.S. would become the tentacled beasts’ hunting ground.
We also find out that this post-apocalyptic world came about one night three years ago, and that Mackie’s character is a widowed dad who needs medical filters to keep his son alive. Mackie, along with Baccarin and Hasson’s characters, head down to the relatively high town of Boulder, Colorado, which still falls below 8,000 feet. There, more filters for Mackie’s son are undoubtedly stored at a hospital. Unsurprisingly, those monsters track them down quickly as they descend, leading to several skirmishes.
The movie comes to us from director George Nolfi and writers John Glenn, Jacob Roman, and Kenny Ryan. It’s produced by Mackie and Nolfi, as well as Brad Fuller (A Quiet Place, The Purge), John Glenn, Joel Viertel, Jeremy Kipp Walker, Natalie Sellers, and Alex Black.
Elevation premieres in theaters on November 8, 2024.
