Last class , thought - provoke main flick District 9 sweep the box billet and blast its style into the Oscars . Was this a fluke , or could it happen again ? Here are eight new science - fiction underdogs that could be the next sleeper hit .
To be sure , some of the films in this list have A - list adept , like Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr. But they ’re still pocket-size projects , without the budgets of a Tron Legacy or a Transformers 3 .
Oh , and there are minor pillager in this C. W. Post , but nothing major .
1 ) Source Code
This is Duncan Jones ’ next labor after the critically acclaimed Moon . Source Code still has n’t released an prescribed plot outline besides this : “ A sci - fi level centered on a soldier who wakes up in the body of a commuter who witnesses a train blowup . ”
Jake Gyllenhaal toy the soldier , whose investigator work includes get the government “ insert ” his mind into the physical structure of a passenger on the doomed gearing . He keeps visit the scenario again and again , until he uncovers the source of the chance event . It sounds like an incredibly cerebral film , and hopefully after Inception , with its own mind - boggling premise , is unleashed on the mass , the general public will be more disposed to be interested in nous - turn away scifi films . It ’s got the making of a great break - out moving-picture show : a recognized actor , two bombination - desirable actresses ( Vera Farmiga and Michelle Monaghan ) , and a managing director who amply merit his import in the Lord’s Day .

2 ) The Darkest Hour
Emille Hirschjust signed onto star in this $ 40 million exotic invasion flick . Hirsch , an exceptionally gifted actor in spite of the damaging Speed Racer buzz , joins music director Chris Gorak . Gorak calculate Right At Your Door , a bright musical style motion-picture show that never quite took off . This level takes place in Russia and follows a radical of American tourists struggling to deal with the wake of an alien encroachment . The moving-picture show has a big - time producer , Timur Bekmambetov , to help give it wings . rent ’s hope they pass some money — and some brain - ability — on making exciting but believable alien .
3 ) The Adjustment Bureau
This celluloid might not need any help from genre fans , since it already asterisk Matt Damon and Emily Blunt . But it does happen to be based on a Philip K. Dickshort write up , “ Adjustment Team , ” about an affair between a pol and a danseuse and the mysterious forces maintain these two lover apart . This film could stumble into a “ Richard Kelly”-like mess , leaving it up to the cognoscenti to explain the ending to everyone else . But nevertheless , if you made a movie that was just Damon demonstrating how to recaulk your bathtub , the great unwashed would still bribe ticket to it .

4 ) sensible horizon
Alright so they ’re not precisely the Coen Brothers , but the Strause brothers , who are directing this film , do have a great screen background in ocular gist . And they verify they ’re going to make up for their debut film , Aliens Vs . Predator : Requiem . Here ’s the premise :
After a late Nox company , a grouping of protagonist are awoken in the dead of the Nox by an eery light transmit through the windowpane . Like moths to a flame , the calorie-free source is drawing people outside before they dead vanish into the air . They soon break an otherwordly force is swallowing the entire human population off the cheek of the earth . Now our band of survivor must push for their lives as the world unravels around them .
Sure , it ’ll probably be closer to Independence Day than District 9 — but this dispirited - budget indie still might bundle some strong characterisation , thanks to Scrubs ’ Donald Faison , Brittany Daniel , and Eric Balfour . Plus rent ’s not blank out , a lot of District 9 was very picture biz - esque .

5 ) Battle : Los Angeles
really the Strause brothers also work on the visual issue for this alien - intrusion film as well . Battle : L.A. , though , has more or less unspoiled actors , including Aaron Eckhart in a long - awaited top man action part , as the leader of a group of soldiers dealing with yet another successful exotic encroachment , where the aliens are rounding up the survivor . Producer Neal Moritz toldColliderthe other twenty-four hours :
I ’ve now see the movie . I think it ’s groundbreaking . I think Jonathan Liebesman has done an unbelievable job for a achievable budget . I guess that the movie ’s turn over out better than I could have expected . I think the outlander look unbelievable . And I recognise on a page I read humans fight aliens , but when I watched it on - screen and to really see fundamentally Black Hawk Down type fight where they ’re not fighting … they’re fighting aliens was unbelievable . It was just an incredible visual experience .
He also mentioned that the film might be go 3D. St. Bride Moynahan and Michelle Rodriguez join Eckhart on his foreign foreign mission .
6 ) Paul
Simon Pegg manged to take Shaun of The Dead to outside heights , so there ’s no reason his next project , an exotic road - misstep funniness , ca n’t do the same . Pegg teams up once again with his Shaun co - sensation Nick Frost , and the couple also co - write this picture . They ’re also fetch along a massive lean of comedian cameo , including Kristin Wiig , Jason Bateman , Bill Hader and Jane Lynch . Genre queen Sigourney Weaver is also rumored to be making a cameo , and is list on the imdb Sir Frederick Handley Page . But the biggest mystery is Seth Rogen ’s quality , the mysterious alien Paul — who catches a ride in Pegg and Frost ’s RV . We still have no idea what Paul looks like , but he ’s bruit to be completely CG . With an noncitizen in the rider seat and the government raging on their buttocks , will Pegg and Frost will reach their nerdy address , San Diego Comic Con ? Either way , with this amount of comedic natural endowment , it should at least be fun to watch .
7 ) The Host
Stephenie Meyer ’s post - foreign - invasion novel — yes , that Meyer — was a optioned a few months ago , and might evenbegin production as ahead of time as next year . In Meyer ’s worldly concern , the alien invader have already win , and the master character is an alien who live the torso of a vernal human young lady who was a phallus of the resistance . The alien get at her horde ’s memories and falls in love with the human ’s boyfriend . Thus beginning a strange alien / human love triangle . Andrew Niccol , author of The Truman Show , is currently working on the screenplay adaptation and will continue on to calculate — althoughhis fresh annunciate projection I’m . Mortalmight have to arrive first .

Children of Men ’s Alfonso Cuaron regurgitate Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role of his late space heroic poem , Gravity .
