In the official press release for the trailer’s arrival, Duffield had this to say:
“I wanted the movie to take the lead of a small intimate character study and drop an alien invasion on top of them. The end of the world won’t only be for those that are ready for it, and the idea of an alien movie rudely bursting the bubble our character has spent years building and cultivating felt like a unique way to tell a favorite story.”
That makes it sound like Dever’s character Brynn has maybe just started to get her life together when this alien invasion happens. Maybe she’s even suffered some kind of trauma that brought her close to death, and she’s not ready to face it yet again when these aliens arrive. Whatever the reasoning, Brynn’s resistance to them is a key point in the movie, and not just from a survival standpoint. Duffield added:
“I think there’s a deeply buried feeling that every alien invasion movie could turn out to be true because they remain such an unknown in our daily lives. As our world careens more and more out of control, maybe there’s even a desire that there’s something out there smarter than us that can help put us on a more sane path. The aliens in ‘No One Will Save You’ are superior to humans in every way, which makes Brynn and her surprising resistance somewhat puzzling to them.”
Dever certainly looks like she’ll be put through the wringer. My curiosity is on high alert, too, because at one point in the trailer, Dever gets knocked out. If that happens early on in the movie, then I wouldn’t necessarily trust anything that’s happening after that to actually be unfolding in reality. Perhaps it’s all a mental ruse that the aliens are using to test her.
We’ll find out when “No One Will Save You” arrives on Hulu starting on September 22, 2023.
