Some news now in regards to this year’s FrightFest Halloween event which will take place later this month. Skylin3s, the third film in the ‘Skyline’ trilogy, has been confirmed to receive its world premiere at the event, closing the festival. The movie follows 2010’s Skyline and 2017’s follow-up Beyond Skyline. The third instalment follows an elite team of soldiers who head to the alien’s home planet on a final desperate mission to save humanity.
Here’s the full synopsis:
Several years have now passed since other-worldly blue lights first descended from the skies as the alien invasion of Earth began.The once-killer extraterrestrials known as ‘Pilots’ have had their biology altered so they can now peacefully coexist with humans on a ravaged future-Earth. When a lethal new alien virus emerges, military commander General Radford (Alexander Siddig) warns that without action the Pilots will revert to their unstoppable, human-hunting form. To save the Earth, super-powered human-alien hybrid Captain Rose Corley (Lindsey Morgan) must lead a team of elite soldiers on a deadly mission beyond the far reaches of space to the alien planet known as Cobalt 1. This time, to save our world, we must invade theirs.
With writer and director Liam O’Donnell once again at the helm of this thrilling sequel, expect explosive action, mind-bending special effects and a continuation of the galactic world-building that fans have come to know and love from the sci-fi action series.
Amongst the cast is Lindsey Morgan, Rhona Mitra (Doomsday, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), James Cosmo (Game of Thrones, Wonder Woman), Alexander Siddig, Daniel Bernhardt (The Matrix Reloaded, John Wick), Jonathan Howard (World War Z) and Cha-Lee Yoon (Skyfall, XXX: The Return of Xander Cage).
