So this kinda looks like Contact meets Close Encounters, am I right? Amy Adams seeks her sixth Oscar nomination as a translator for the visiting life forms from another planet, and I think this looks pretty good, actually. I've liked each successive Denis Villeneuve film a little bit better than the last, so this has the potential to be his best yet, hopefully. And unlike Emily Blunt's superfluous character in Sicario, this one looks to actually be all about Adams and her role in the story, so I'm excited. It premieres at the Venice Film Festival in a couple weeks and opens right in the thick of Oscar season on November 11th, so it looks like Paramount's got high hopes for it.
