TrailerMovie by Joey Paur

Monsters: Dark Continent is the sequel to Gareth Edwards' impressively well made indie creature feature Monsters. Edwards has moved on to bigger and better things with Godzilla, so this sequel is being directed by first time feature filmmaker Tom Green. Not much is shown in the teaser, but as you'll see it has the same tone as the first film. Here's the synopsis:

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.

The movie stars Johnny Harris (Welcome To The Punch)Sam Keeley (What Richard Did), and Joe Dempsie (Game Of Thrones). In an interview with Empire, the director talked about the film's atmosphere and filming location saying,

From my first visit to the location shown here, in Jordan, it was somewhere I felt was key to making Dark Continent work. The moonscape-like environment was the perfect basis for an ‘alien’ landscape. The quarry trucks you see here became ‘buggies’ to transport the remains of firebombed monster herds to be incinerated, with all the leading characters emerging from the dust to witness the scale of the death toll for the first time — and for one character maybe too many times…

The movie will be released sometime in 2014.
