SKYLINE Alien Invasion Trailer

If I told you that strange lights were descending on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame, where an extraterrestrial force was threatening to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth, would you be mildly worried? Hell, I know I’d be. Even the tagline “Don’t Look Up” warns us in this first teaser trailer for Universal Pictures SKYLINE. Man, whatever happened to the “we come in peace” aliens of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND?

I’d say this the part where we all put on our coneshaped, tin-foiled hats so that the aliens can’t read our thoughts. Ahem. But we all know who accurately predicted  how things would go down with meeting aliens. Not Hawking, but Dr. Peter Venkman of GHOSTBUSTERS 2. He warned us years ago on his show “World of the Psychic” when he said, “… and that is the whole problem with aliens is you just can’t trust them. Occasionally you meet a nice once: Star Man, E.T… But usually they turn out to be some kind of big lizard!”

Synopsis:

After a late night party, a group of friends are awoken in the dead of the night by an eerie light beaming through the window. Like moths to a flame, the light source is drawing people outside before they suddenly vanish into the air. They soon discover an otherwordly force is swallowing the entire human population off the face of the earth. Now our band of survivors must fight for their lives as the world unravels around them.
