JOHNNY HARRIS' 'MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT' IS ONE OF THE REMAINING SCI-FI FLICKS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2014

Update (9/3/2014):  UK release date was updated to November 28, 2014.
Monsters: Dark Continent starring Johnny Harris is one of the top remaining unreleased Sci-Fi films to look out for this year, according to Den of Geek.

Den of Geek was riddled with excitement with the newly release Monsters trailer.  Unlike most science fiction films, Deen of Geek states that Monsters appears to be more "thought-provoking" rather than leaning heavy on special effects although the effects "look extremely good."

Check out Harris as he dawns fatigues leading the soldiers as they take on creatures in the latest trailer. 

'Monsters' opens September 26 in the UK.  No U.S. release date available to date.

Since the screenings, there has not been a lack of praise for her performance. It has been a consistent drum beat from around the world.  Had their been a Best Supporting Actress at Cannes, Stewart should have won.

Stewart: Relaxed and Confident, Talks to Indiewire About Perceptions, Fame, Projects and More...

Indiewire about the vote:

"Kristen Stewart's work in Olivier Assayas' "Clouds of Sils Maria" garnered a first-place finish in the Supporting Performance list. In fact, if you throw in the handful of votes she also received for Lead Performance, she'd be tied with Dorval for the most overall ballot points of any performer. Bennett Miller's "Foxcatcher" also received spread-out acclaim, with its central acting triumvirate each appearing on their fair share of lists. Mark Ruffalo finished just behind Stewart, while Channing Tatum and Steve Carell each received a high combined total between mentions for Lead and Supporting."
