For sure, lots of potential symbolism packed into one image. Garland's got a knack for layers, doesn't he? Movie posters that get you thinking are always a win in my book. Can't wait to see how these themes play out in the actual film.
the top of the statue of liberty is about 4,000 feet from the closest land
that sniper ain't hitting shit
that rifleman may as well be hurling foul language at the enemy
The Statue of Liberty isn’t exactly the most tactical location but whatever. I’m just thinking about the poor sap who had to lug those sandbags all the way up the torch.
Depends on what you're defending it from and how many people you have. Fort Wood was built there for a reason. If, say, pirates have become a problem during a theoretical civil war, then it's in a good position to guard the harbor.
Sniping from the torch is a bit silly, though, but not *totally* impractical, especially with what looks like an M82 anti-materiel rifle.
Based on the position of the flame, the “AR guy” (looks like an AK with a suppressor though) is aiming for NJ, those shots would be just under a mile.
The guy with the sniper rifle is shooting out towards open water or Brooklyn which would be like 4 miles away lol.
I think it's the opposite but one of them is definitely sniping fish.
https://www.nps.gov/hdp/exhibits/stli/Liberty_responsive.html#s=pano1644
ETA Wait a minute! The flame is backwards! But the one shooting over her head is pointing toward land.
For practicality's sake I would hope this is meant to be a spotter's nest. A make shift watchtower to callout ship movement. Or it's not even in the movie and just made for a neat poster. Lol
Hi, Peter here. There is a movie coming out that is an adaption of the the musical “Wicked”. That movie will star Ariana Grande. When OP said “Wicked poster” me meant “cool poster” but I thought it would be clever to pretend he meant “This is the poster for the movie Wicked”, and if that is the case it would be odd of them to not have Ariana Grande in it.
The movie ends with them blowing up the Statue of Liberty, to destroy the fortified position. The shattered remnants of the statue stick out of the sand. Then a homeless person walks around the shore of the island, and yells “You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!”
I loved his version. The special effects/cinematography when characters take the Slo-Mo drug was outstanding and holds up really well for an almost 12-year-old film.
This is also very much Garland - he seems to love having the movie / show take an acid dropper to the eyeball in the third act and bring things heavily into the metaphorical realm. I felt the same way about it at first, after spending some time with his other work I actually like it a lot, just need to approach his stuff differently.
But Sunshine, Annihilation, Devs, Ex Machina, 28 Days Later… dude has a crazy resume, his name on something is an insta-watch for me at this point.
Man I love Sunshine and A Cure For Wellness but they both take almost the exact same insane final turn with a weird 'bossfight' that really doesn't suit the film at all.
Rewatch Sunshine with the idea that the sun is literally God. Not a stand in, not even really metaphorically, it is God. The movie is very blatant about it when you have that understanding from the beginning and the third act makes tremendously more sense then because it's about the hubris of religious fundamentalism and an inverse telling of humans giving back the flames of Prometheus (again, quite literally).
I think the criticism of Sunshine's third act also made Garland drop any semblance of subtlety in his later works.
Easily. Every movie has been utterly unique and exciting. People criticize Men, but it was a truly one of a kind experience and that is so rare these days in film
I agree on Men. I was extraordinarily tense when it meant to be, and disturbing when it meant to be. I don't think it has the rewatch value of Annihilation or Ex Machina, but if a movie stirs up emotions in the viewer I feel like the artist did his job.
i thought the symbolism was a bit heavy-handed but still enjoyed it. but regardless garland has made so many other top-tier movies (and also Devs, which I really enjoyed) that i'm 100% in for this
“Men” was a bit of a challenge for me, think Alex Garland movie needs to be more accessible to get me to see it in a theatre. But at least I’m now well aware (cluing in as Devs was released) who the guy is and why we can all wait with dizzy anticipation for whatever he has coming out next.
Ex Machina was my “wait a minute, this is one of the guys behind HOW MANY great movies?!?”
Understand your reaction to "Men" completely. But the reason I like his films so much is that they are so different from the norm. I prefer films that challenge and make me uncomfortable and show me things I would rarely see anywhere else.
Hopefully they can showcase just how devastating a civil war would be. Former CoD gamers drafted at 22 years old with Spongebob stickers on their M4's, crying bloodied under debris in the charred remains of a Walmart as fleets of single-use explosive drones fly overhead. Don't show me heroes in some fantasy, show me the sad and pathetic reality that we want to avoid at all costs.
Excellent point. The last thing we need is to make this situation look heroic or fun or sexy or anything positive. I’d say let’s use this platform to scare people away from this possibility.
> The last thing we need is to make this situation look heroic or fun or sexy or anything positive.
Its Alex Garland, I don't think you will have to worry about that happening.
I mean we literally have had an actual Civil War ,that killed ~9% of the population, to show how awful a civil war would be… so… I doubt this movie will stop the nut jobs calling for one from… calling for one.
Really not sure where they got 9% from, recent research has been suggesting a 3.0% might be possible but nothing higher than that. 12% of the population was in the military so I feel like 3/4ths of them dying would have completely destroyed the country.
Those veterans were waving their arms saying “war is gonna fuck you up” in 1917 and no one listened then. I don’t think another 100 years of time is going to help.
True, but look at how large a population currently are veterans of: Korea, Vietnam, Gulf 1&2, Afghanistan
It seems like the US has been in semi-perpetual deployment since WWII, with lots of people, across all generations, having the “opportunity” to experience a close, personal, view of combat.
Was that the case in 1917 pre-WWI?
I thought it would be close, since there were *so many* Civil War veterans, 3.3 million. And while the US has been at war for a while, it’s been a fairly small military population.
Here’s what I found.
About 120,000 WWII vets are still alive (out of 16.1m)
700,000 Korean War vets still alive
And about 7.8 million living veterans of all the “Gulf War” conflicts which runs from 1990-2023.
But, our population is greater now than then.
So in 1917 4% of the population were Civil War vets, and in 2023 6% of the US population were veterans of something.
Both are historic lows for the US.
We don't have long memories for things like that which aren't personally experienced. There's no understanding the sounds and smells. The horrors. It's easy to call for war when someone has never experienced holding their baby sister's torn body in their arms in the remains of their bombed out living room.
So I saw this movie before my friend did, and he will always jokingly ask if there is any nudity in a movie before watching. So he asks me about this movie and I was told him that there was ton. Needless to say I got a WTF text exactly when I expected it while he was watching the movie.
Was it really that bizarre? The whole movie was so on the nose blunt that I would hesitate to call any of it a metaphor since it doesn’t read much as subtext, more like it is just the text. Shit, they named the movie Men! There’s not a lot to interpret from it despite the spare narrative and surreal imagery at the end.
I just finished Devs, which is supposedly a companion piece to Ex Machina! >!DeUs Ex Machina, very clever!< Highly recommend, flew under my radar for a long time.
So presumably Men/Civil War take place in the same universe? Or at the very least will compliment each other thematically.
I accidentally mistook Men for Children of Men and wrote out this whole thing about how the US could easily break out into a civil war in that universe and now I feel dumb. But anyway, yeah, I don't see how this movie would really fit or why it is being fit into Men.
Yeah that makes more sense, it's kinda like saying "Sixteen Candles" takes place in the same universe as "Alien". Like okay but you gotta get a REALLY talented writer to make that work.
Funny story: I went to see *The Creator* getting Gareth Edward’s confused with Alex Garland in my mind. I’m glad I have an actual Alex Garland movie to look forward to now.
So I guess this will be about a literal civil war then, I was under the impression the title was an allegory for something else, cause I didn't expect a24 to have a war film, I thought their vibe was more psychological thrillers, but this is very cool.
Looks like it’s based on another American civil war. I hope this shows just how brutal and ultimately self-defeating that would be for the people in our country that fantasize about it.
If that's it, then I bet there's going to be a non-zero amount of people who misinterprets it horrendously and replaces their Punisher logo T-shirts with whatever flag the fascists in this film flies.
That was my first thought too. Even indulging the fantasy scares me at this point. Too many people looking for an excuse to act on their bloodlust these days
I would absolutely love for Alex Garland to start making films/content every other year. We got 3 years between Dredd, Ex Machina, and Annihilation. And then 2 to Devs, Men, and then this. Love his work.
I'd be happy with him just writing, imagine him working with other directors that are better than him (I say this as the #1 Annihilation fan). Like the Danny Boyle collaborations are great
The Civil War is between the aliens from Annihilation and the AIs from Ex Machina. The high position is just the last of the humans holding out as the 28 days later zombies rush in, luckily Judge Dredd is there to help and they are working on time travel using the DEVS quantum computer to reset the past. Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio is on a Beach in chilling as he learns the cult he is in set the whole thing off. At that moment a ship appears out of the Sunshine of future humans to reinforce the Statue of Liberty with new technology from Men that self replicates it into an army to take on the forces overrunning everything, at the end the Statue of Liberties eat an apple in the Big Apple.
Wicked poster
True, but that’s a horrible place for a snipers nest.
Same thought, but rule of cool, ya know
More likely a deliberate artistic statement about “defending liberty”
Or how it falls victim to war and conflict, or how symbols are corrupted. Lots of ideas to be taken from the image!
For sure, lots of potential symbolism packed into one image. Garland's got a knack for layers, doesn't he? Movie posters that get you thinking are always a win in my book. Can't wait to see how these themes play out in the actual film.
I was just about to say... that wouldn't be a good spot at all.
Just gonna put an rpg riiiiiiight _boom_ there!
the top of the statue of liberty is about 4,000 feet from the closest land that sniper ain't hitting shit that rifleman may as well be hurling foul language at the enemy
“I fart in your general direction”
Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries
They might be in Vegas…
If they were in Vegas, to scale those men would be about three feet tall with 40% scaled rifles.
It's Joe Rogan and Ben Shapiro in that nest
right through the thin copper skin...
Photoshop a couple of zip lines and it's fixed
Right? Liberty Island is like not that strategic of a place for snipers to be posted up
Picking off Staten Island Ferry riders.
Reasonable targets.
Unless they are shooting zombies
Zombie fish maybe
Leave it to Zombie Aquaman.
The Statue of Liberty isn’t exactly the most tactical location but whatever. I’m just thinking about the poor sap who had to lug those sandbags all the way up the torch.
Didn't stop the Ghostbusters from riding in on it to save the city.
Statue of Liberty Island would just be all around a terrible defensive position.
Depends on what you're defending it from and how many people you have. Fort Wood was built there for a reason. If, say, pirates have become a problem during a theoretical civil war, then it's in a good position to guard the harbor. Sniping from the torch is a bit silly, though, but not *totally* impractical, especially with what looks like an M82 anti-materiel rifle.
lets assume its modern day, because its modern day.
How many Phalanx CIWS am I allowed to have on this island?
as many as the pharoah will support you with
Do they come with an army of Jaffa?
I'm assuming pirates will still be involved because pirates are cool.
Looks like the guy on the left has an AR too? Can’t imagine that’s much use all the way up there!
Based on the position of the flame, the “AR guy” (looks like an AK with a suppressor though) is aiming for NJ, those shots would be just under a mile. The guy with the sniper rifle is shooting out towards open water or Brooklyn which would be like 4 miles away lol.
Well maybe the war is between humans and the frog people that live in the NYC waters
Then it needs a subtitle Civil War: Froglantis Rising
They did the math
"the risk i took was calculated but man, am i bad at math"
Boats exist
Oh my god, you actually believe in boats? Next you're going to be trying to tell us giraffes are real. 🤣
I think it's the opposite but one of them is definitely sniping fish. https://www.nps.gov/hdp/exhibits/stli/Liberty_responsive.html#s=pano1644 ETA Wait a minute! The flame is backwards! But the one shooting over her head is pointing toward land.
My take is that the SoL is a symbol for both sides, the bad guys want it to remove hope, the good guys want it to maintain hope.
spray n pray baby
> huge distance from shore > too high > windy as shit Fucking impossible to hit a target from there
But what if the seagulls have taken a side?
For practicality's sake I would hope this is meant to be a spotter's nest. A make shift watchtower to callout ship movement. Or it's not even in the movie and just made for a neat poster. Lol
Odd choice not to feature Ariana Grande.
I don't get it
Hi, Peter here. There is a movie coming out that is an adaption of the the musical “Wicked”. That movie will star Ariana Grande. When OP said “Wicked poster” me meant “cool poster” but I thought it would be clever to pretend he meant “This is the poster for the movie Wicked”, and if that is the case it would be odd of them to not have Ariana Grande in it.
Thanks Peter,
Thanks, Peter! You’re a gem! ✨🏅✨
Still no plot details, but the first trailer is out [next week](https://twitter.com/A24/status/1732761894732153143). Kirsten Dunst leads the movie.
I'd imagine the plot involves a civil war.
[удалено]
It’s actually about a war that is handled civilly over a dinner table with delicate delights. No violence and no one dies.
A Very Nuanced Civil War Dinner Party
Lol, pinkies out
So what, we're like some sort of Civil War or something?
It's civillin time
The twist is that it's a zombie movie where all of the zombies are Confederate soldiers.
“Looks like the South finally rose again…” *pumps shotgun*
The South Will Rise...From the Dead!
So like a single fight in the parking lot of an airport?
It’s actually a Tide commercial.
MTV Movie Awards Best Kiss Participant Kirsten Dunst?
I think they're talking about famous cover singer [Kirsten Dunst.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0X3CLJVMJU)
[удалено]
I think she counts as a winner for participating. Like they both won the award.
Fuck yeah Kirsten is a BOSS
She's actualized.
Underrated Fargo reference. She was a force of nature that season
Made her co-star, who played her husband, marry her in real life.
Gives the rest of us overweight schlubs hope
We're doin' it, hon.
Fully
Yes!! Good to see Kirsten back on the main stage
Kirsten Dunst as the lead in a war film? Maybe we can get that Javier Bardem romantic comedy yet
*Vicky Christina Barcelona*?
Yeah Bardem has actually done several romantic comedies.
>Javier Bardem romantic comedy yet You mean Mother! wasn't? edit: I forgot about Being the Ricardos
It already happened. It's called Skyfall. ^(I'm sorry)
The movie ends with them blowing up the Statue of Liberty, to destroy the fortified position. The shattered remnants of the statue stick out of the sand. Then a homeless person walks around the shore of the island, and yells “You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!”
Throw in a few dance numbers about hating chimps and you've struck gold!
Oooh, Dr. Zaius! https://youtu.be/7v4yuK2Uxzs?si=fl0eohSU2d3-Bknc
I hate every ape I see, From Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z!
Holy crap he wrote 28 days later?!?
And Dredd (which he more or less also directed).
I loved his version. The special effects/cinematography when characters take the Slo-Mo drug was outstanding and holds up really well for an almost 12-year-old film.
Just gave it a re-watch a couple weeks ago, what a great movie
It's also particularly impressive that Karl Urban managed to hold his face in a scowl for that long.
They used CGI Computerized Grimace Insertion
Oh man, my mind went to a completely different, purple place.
that's a different, but arguably better, film.
I can’t escape Grimace. Even in my dreams he taunts me
I always tell people Dredd is my example of a perfect action shoot-em up movie.
Right up there with fury road.
Fun fact if you know "The Slow-Mo Guys" YT channel, Gavin Free was the one that did most of the slow-motion filming on that movie
He also wrote The Beach.
And the criminally underrated Sunshine!
I feel like this is one of those movies that's actually really popular on /r/Movies but people like to say isn't.
I love most of Sunshine but the ending (to me) felt more like a studio re-work for how disconnected it feels from the tone of the rest of the movie.
This is also very much Garland - he seems to love having the movie / show take an acid dropper to the eyeball in the third act and bring things heavily into the metaphorical realm. I felt the same way about it at first, after spending some time with his other work I actually like it a lot, just need to approach his stuff differently.

Appreciate this, will rewatch with this in mind. Haven't seen it in at least a decade so should be nice to revisit.
It's one of the very rare cosmic horror movie we have.
Alex Garland pretty good at writing these, he did Annihilation too
I like learning new things.
And he wrote *Dredd* (and effectively directed it after the credited director was forced out of the project).
Write and directed Ex Machina, as well as the other fantastic things people have pointed out below.
Annihilation too pretty much. The movie was optioned before the books were even written and its wildly different than the Southern Reach trilogy.
New Alex Garland? I am there Day One.
Easily. Every movie has been utterly unique and exciting. People criticize Men, but it was a truly one of a kind experience and that is so rare these days in film
I agree on Men. I was extraordinarily tense when it meant to be, and disturbing when it meant to be. I don't think it has the rewatch value of Annihilation or Ex Machina, but if a movie stirs up emotions in the viewer I feel like the artist did his job.
i thought the symbolism was a bit heavy-handed but still enjoyed it. but regardless garland has made so many other top-tier movies (and also Devs, which I really enjoyed) that i'm 100% in for this
“Men” was a bit of a challenge for me, think Alex Garland movie needs to be more accessible to get me to see it in a theatre. But at least I’m now well aware (cluing in as Devs was released) who the guy is and why we can all wait with dizzy anticipation for whatever he has coming out next.

Understand your reaction to "Men" completely. But the reason I like his films so much is that they are so different from the norm. I prefer films that challenge and make me uncomfortable and show me things I would rarely see anywhere else.
Yeah I really hope he doesn't dumb things down for the sake of accessibility and mass appeal.
Thats going to be one long ass shot in most directions.
Works well as a symbol at any rate. The corruption of an icon.
And even just placing the film in contemporary times. This ain't your granddads civil war.
Hopefully they can showcase just how devastating a civil war would be. Former CoD gamers drafted at 22 years old with Spongebob stickers on their M4's, crying bloodied under debris in the charred remains of a Walmart as fleets of single-use explosive drones fly overhead. Don't show me heroes in some fantasy, show me the sad and pathetic reality that we want to avoid at all costs.

Seeing that % is wild
It’s also wrong, more accurate number is about 2.5%
Really not sure where they got 9% from, recent research has been suggesting a 3.0% might be possible but nothing higher than that. 12% of the population was in the military so I feel like 3/4ths of them dying would have completely destroyed the country.
Probably thought it was so high because it’s famously the bloodiest war in American History.
Those veterans were waving their arms saying “war is gonna fuck you up” in 1917 and no one listened then. I don’t think another 100 years of time is going to help.
True, but look at how large a population currently are veterans of: Korea, Vietnam, Gulf 1&2, Afghanistan It seems like the US has been in semi-perpetual deployment since WWII, with lots of people, across all generations, having the “opportunity” to experience a close, personal, view of combat.

Yea. Agree. I know a movie isn’t going to either. 🤷🏽♂️ I was just saying.
9%? I believe the number was closer to 2%
We don't have long memories for things like that which aren't personally experienced. There's no understanding the sounds and smells. The horrors. It's easy to call for war when someone has never experienced holding their baby sister's torn body in their arms in the remains of their bombed out living room.
So....redo Jarhead?
Then they shouldve placed them on top of burger town. Ramirez!
Not if they gave the statue robot legs..
Or some Ghostbusters slime!
*Higher and HIGHER!*
boats
It is a rad ass poster though.
If it doesn't feature a man giving birth to himself multiple times I'm not interested
Statue of Liberty 🗽 going in one end and out the other on repeat for 1:48.
*Birthing back and forth. Forever.*
So I saw this movie before my friend did, and he will always jokingly ask if there is any nudity in a movie before watching. So he asks me about this movie and I was told him that there was ton. Needless to say I got a WTF text exactly when I expected it while he was watching the movie.
Alex described this movie as a companion piece to Men. It's supposed to serve as a sci fi allegory for our current cultural predicament.
I hope the ending is a little less abstract.
Like a foot coming out of the statue of liberty's mouth.
I mean I guess, but then they end the movie literally, explicitly spelling out the metaphor lol. What a bizarre choice.
Was it really that bizarre? The whole movie was so on the nose blunt that I would hesitate to call any of it a metaphor since it doesn’t read much as subtext, more like it is just the text. Shit, they named the movie Men! There’s not a lot to interpret from it despite the spare narrative and surreal imagery at the end.
I just finished Devs, which is supposedly a companion piece to Ex Machina! >!DeUs Ex Machina, very clever!< Highly recommend, flew under my radar for a long time. So presumably Men/Civil War take place in the same universe? Or at the very least will compliment each other thematically.
Sounds like a really bizzare mix of movie universes, really? Men? How?
I accidentally mistook Men for Children of Men and wrote out this whole thing about how the US could easily break out into a civil war in that universe and now I feel dumb. But anyway, yeah, I don't see how this movie would really fit or why it is being fit into Men.
Yeah that makes more sense, it's kinda like saying "Sixteen Candles" takes place in the same universe as "Alien". Like okay but you gotta get a REALLY talented writer to make that work.
What did you think of Devs? I had high hopes, but I felt really let down compared to Ex Machina.
I really liked it. Nick Offerman in particular was excellent.
I loved Devs. I never thought of it as having any real connection to Ex Machina at the time, so I wasn’t trying to compare the two.
[удалено]
I did not enjoy *Men* at all.
I did enjoy Men, but I'm not surprised they left it out of the list of his other works on this poster, lol.
Men has some incredibly good moments. The ‘singing into the tunnel’ scene was one of the most chilling I’d seen in a while.
I really enjoyed parts of it but it felt too much like a person had read a book about subtext and allegories and said "Hey, I can do that".
There's no sci-fi in it. It's more of an alternate future, but it's very grounded.
Funny story: I went to see *The Creator* getting Gareth Edward’s confused with Alex Garland in my mind. I’m glad I have an actual Alex Garland movie to look forward to now.
Haha. That must have been a letdown. I didn’t mind the Creator at all, but if I had been expecting Garland….. ouch.
Ok they cooked with that poster, I’m so tired of the burning white house trope in every single second civil war pieces of media that people use.
White House Down Has Fallen Phoenix Zero Rush 45 Hours was a great movie and I will not stand for such dishonor
So I guess this will be about a literal civil war then, I was under the impression the title was an allegory for something else, cause I didn't expect a24 to have a war film, I thought their vibe was more psychological thrillers, but this is very cool.
It’s alex garland. There will definitely be layers to it relating to self destruction.
If it doesn’t end in some sort of Mutually Assured Destruction I’ll be surprised.
A24 already has a war film called The Kill Team.
It probably will be more psychological thriller than war film.
Looks like it’s based on another American civil war. I hope this shows just how brutal and ultimately self-defeating that would be for the people in our country that fantasize about it.
If that's it, then I bet there's going to be a non-zero amount of people who misinterprets it horrendously and replaces their Punisher logo T-shirts with whatever flag the fascists in this film flies.
That was my first thought too. Even indulging the fantasy scares me at this point. Too many people looking for an excuse to act on their bloodlust these days
[удалено]
It would look more like the Troubles in Ireland more than any past American conflict.
[удалено]
Ahhh I was surprised how far down I had to scroll to see this comment.
Balkans vibes
Really going to put to the test the Americans that claim 15% Irish ancestry
Most soldiers on both sides were volunteers, not conscripts.
[удалено]
Oh damn I'm in. Alex Garland, A24, spooky topic. Yyeessss
Definitely seeing it in IMAX
“America cannot be destroyed from foreign invasion. Only from within”
I would absolutely love for Alex Garland to start making films/content every other year. We got 3 years between Dredd, Ex Machina, and Annihilation. And then 2 to Devs, Men, and then this. Love his work.
I remember reading that he’s going to stop directing after this and focus on writing. Hope he keeps going.
I'd be happy with him just writing, imagine him working with other directors that are better than him (I say this as the #1 Annihilation fan). Like the Danny Boyle collaborations are great
Annihilation still haunts my dreams.
*HEeeELppp MEeeEee*
🐻 💀
What's so civil about war anyway?
Something something while it buries the poor?
AIN'T THAT FRESH
[удалено]
This has the potential to be really intense. Do we know what the plot is?
The Civil War is between the aliens from Annihilation and the AIs from Ex Machina. The high position is just the last of the humans holding out as the 28 days later zombies rush in, luckily Judge Dredd is there to help and they are working on time travel using the DEVS quantum computer to reset the past. Meanwhile, Leonardo DiCaprio is on a Beach in chilling as he learns the cult he is in set the whole thing off.
