See Evil Alien Ships That Look Like They Came From THE MATRIX!! A New SKYLINE Trailer Is Here...Does It Show Promise??

Merrick here...
Hollywood appears to be in the midst of alien invasion mania, evidenced by the continuance of ABC's V, the coming of Steven Spielberg's FALLEN SKIES on TNT, the arrival of BATTLE: LOS ANGELES in theaters next Spring, Sam Raimi's purported involvement with EDF, and probably one or two others I can't recall at the moment. Also on the way? SKYLINE. This one's from Colin and Greg Strause, FX geniuses who directed the not-particularly-brilliant AvP: REQUIEM. Having heard story after story of how difficult it can be to jump into a franchise like ALIEN...or PREDATOR...not to mention a hybridization of both...,and being well aware of how difficult making any picture at Fox can be, I'm willing to temporarily suspend my disdain for REQUIEM and give these guys an open mind when approaching SKYLINE. This new trailer...suggests a visceral and atmospheric film that could feasibly work, and I'm very curious to see how it shakes out on the whole. See the new trailer (aka "Trailer 2") HERE.
