A couple of years ago Brit director Gareth Edwards embarked to South America and with only a crew of two created ‘Monsters’ his low budget, guerillla styled sci-fi project. And now here we are getting a glimpse at the official extended plot synopsis for its follow-up ‘Monsters: Dark Continent’. Edwards will only produce this time around as the directorial duties have been passed to British TV director Tom Green who has previously worked on the fantastic E4 comedy/sci-fi series ‘Misfits’. Jay Basu provides the script which will most likely be more structured and less improvisational such was its predecessor. Check out the plot details below and expect this bad boy at some point in 2013.
“Seven years on from the events of Monsters, and the ‘Infected Zones’ have spread worldwide. Humans have been knocked off the top of the food chain, with disparate communities struggling for survival. American soldiers are being sent abroad to protect US interests from the Monsters, but the war is far from being won.
Noah, a haunted soldier with several tours under his belt, is sent on a mission: an American soldier has gone rogue deep in the Infected Zone, and Noah must reach him and take him out. But when Noah’s unit and transport are destroyed, he finds himself with only a young and inexperienced cadet for company – the brother of the man Noah has been sent to kill.
The two soldiers must go on a life-altering journey through the dark heart of monster territory, accompanied by a young local woman to guide them. By the time the three of them reach their goal, they will have been forced to confront the fear that the true monsters on the planet may not be alien after all.”
