The Invasion
The InvasionModern day reworking of the classic Scifi Novel "The Body Snatchers" starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Jeremy Northam and Jeffrey Wright.
The Invasion, as adapted from the book by screenwriter David Kajganich, and directed by Hirschbiegel, reflects the contemporary cultural issues stemming from fear of pandemic to social and political unrest. “It still has political overtones, but I think it's about how an insidious invasion like this could happen, how without us realizing it or being aware of it, it could just creep in and take over,” comments producer Joel Silver. “That was the most effective part of the material. David Kajganich wrote an original screenplay that really is fresh and takes the idea in a different light, and we did good service to that. I mean, the movie is thrilling and exciting; it's edge-of-your-seat, creepy entertainment. And I think those are the elements that it originally had and which we mined to make it work for today.”
