After teasing us for a better part of the year, the alien invasion spectacle from the Visual FX mavens Colin and Greg Strause is finally out in theaters, and we've got our official review and more locked and loaded.
Skyline looks and feels like a big summertime Hollywood movie with its storyline, giant-sized special effects and scenes of mass destruction, except - it isn't. The film was self-financed with a 20-person crew and shot entirely at the Strauses' tall apartment building overlooking downtown Los Angeles. And you can quote that bit of trivia to your friends!
Synopsis:
After a late night party, a group of friends are awoken in the dead of the night by an eerie light beaming through the window. Like moths to a flame, the light source is drawing people outside before they suddenly vanish into the air. They soon discover an otherwordly force is swallowing the...

With the opening of the alien invasion thriller Skyline on Friday, November 12, 2010, what better way is there to get the excitement going than to share with everyone a bumper crop of video interviews with the cast and crew of the film? On top of that, we also got our hands on a very cool behind-the-scenes video clip documenting the magic of filmmaking in several scenes.
Synopsis:
In the sci-fi thriller Skyline, strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame. Once outdoors, a terrifying extraterrestrial force begins to swallow the entire human population off the face of the Earth. In a matter of hours, we will all be gone.
Jarrod (Eric Balfour of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Elaine’s (Scottie Thompson of Star Trek) trip to Southern California was supposed to be a simple weekend away to visit Jarrod’s best friend,...

In these turbulent economic times, filmmakers - like many business oriented folk - play things pretty close to the vest. They invest thoughtfully and make their moves with a certain amount of secrecy. They do their best to make sure that they have a winner on their hands before they even start thinking about things like sequels or franchises.
It just makes good business sense.
So naturally there was a certain amount of surprise in media circles when filmmakers Colin and Greg Strause (Avp: Requiem) recently announced a sequel to their upcoming film, Skyline. The reasoning behind this consternation is that Skyline is not due for release until November 12, 2010. For a property other than, for example, an established literary series (which has its own built-in audiences), it is a bold and daring move. But with their innovative formula of filmmaking, the brothers are so convinced they have a hit on...
