De adaptatie is gebaseerd op het eerste deel uit Jeff VanderMeer’s Southern Reach trilogie. In de film zijn er rollen voor Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny en Oscar Isaac.  Annihilation werd voor het eerst gepubliceerd in 2014 en wordt als volgt omschreven:

Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; all the members of the second expedition committed suicide; the third expedition died in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another; the members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within months of their return, all had died of aggressive cancer.

This is the twelfth expedition.

Their group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain and collect specimens; to record all their observations, scientific and otherwise, of their surroundings and of one another; and, above all, to avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.

They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding—but it’s the surprises that came across the border with them, and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another, that change everything.

De sci-fi thriller komt in de Verenigde Staten op 23 februari uit in de bioscopen. Na 17 dagen mag Netflix de film vervolgens in de rest van de wereld vertonen via hun eigen streaming-platform. Paramount doet alleen de traditionele bioscooprelease in de VS, Canada en China.
