New UK poster and trailer for Skyline

After being officially unveiled at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con by sibling directors Colin and Greg Strause (a.k.a. The Brothers Strause - the visual FX masterminds behind eye-candy blockbusters such as 300, 2012 and Avatar), sci-fi thriller Skyline will be hoping to steal a march on rival alien invasion flick Battle: Los Angeles when it hits cinemas this coming November.

Following a similar set-up to Cloverfield, Skyline sees a group of friends hitting a late-night party only to be awoken by an eerie light source that seems to be luring people outside only for them to vanish into thin air. The dirty stop-outs soon discover that an alien force is swallowing the entire population and must fight for their lives as the world unravels all around them.

Our friends across the pond got a look at the trailer back in August when it was attached to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and now UK distributors Metrodome have followed suit, along with a new UK poster that looks very similar to its North American counterpart. If you're yet to see the trailer, check it out now...


Skyline's cast includes Eric Balfour (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Scottie Thompson (Star Trek), David Zayas (The Expendables) and Donald Faison (Scrubs), and the film is set for release on November 12th.
