In a thrilling cinematic revelation, director Brian Duffield, renowned for his work on 20th Century Studios’ “No One Will Save You,” has teased an imminent extraterrestrial invasion in his latest creation, setting the stage for an enthralling sci-fi psychological thriller. The film, told through the perspective of a solitary young woman grappling with a traumatic past, combines elements of a character study with an unexpected alien intrusion.
“I wanted the movie to take the lead of a small intimate character study and drop an alien invasion on top of them,” explained Duffield. “The end of the world won’t only be for those that are ready for it, and the idea of an alien movie rudely bursting the bubble our character has spent years building and cultivating felt like a unique way to tell a favorite story.”
The film stars Kaitlyn Dever as Brynn, a formidable fighter who takes on the unearthly intruders with unwavering resolve. Duffield praised Dever as one of the brightest talents of her generation, noting, “We were so excited to have Kaitlyn join us because—like Brynn being thrust into a whole new world—Kaitlyn had never done a movie so aggressively physical and sci-fi before. I think audiences will be blown away by how commanding Kaitlyn is on screen as she uses her solitude and silence to create a truly unique and complex character.”
Duffield embarked on the ambitious task of crafting a character so compelling that viewers would be captivated by her journey, irrespective of the looming alien threat. However, these unwelcome extraterrestrial visitors make their presence known approximately eight minutes into the movie. “I think there’s a deeply buried feeling that every alien invasion movie could turn out to be true because they remain such an unknown in our daily lives,” mused Duffield. “As our world careens more and more out of control, maybe there’s even a desire that there’s something out there smarter than us that can help put us on a more sane path. The aliens in ‘No One Will Save You’ are superior to humans in every way, which makes Brynn and her surprising resistance somewhat puzzling to them.”
“No One Will Save You” marks Duffield’s sophomore directorial effort, following his successful 2020 film “Spontaneous,” which received critical acclaim with a Certified Fresh rating of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Duffield’s recent production endeavors include “Cocaine Bear,” directed by Elizabeth Banks for Universal, and the upcoming film “Borderline,” directed by Jimmy Warden.
From the stables of 20th Century Studios, “No One Will Save You” promises an action-packed showdown between Brynn and a cadre of extraterrestrial beings who threaten her future while compelling her to confront her haunting past. The film boasts a mesmerizing musical score by composer Joseph Trapanese. Tim White, Trevor White, Allan Mandelbaum, and Duffield serve as producers, with Dever and Joshua Throne executive producing.
Mark your calendars as “No One Will Save You” is set to stream exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ in all other territories, starting from September 22, 2023. Sci-fi enthusiasts and film aficionados alike can anticipate an unforgettable cinematic experience that combines the best of character-driven storytelling with the thrill of an otherworldly invasion.
