Watch Kaitlyn Dever In “No One Will Save You” Official Trailer

According to Brian Duffield, who wrote and directed 20th Century Studios’ “No One Will Save You,” a sci-fi psychological thriller told through the eyes of a lonely young woman with a painful backstory, an invasion is imminent.

“I wanted the movie to take the lead of a small intimate character study and drop an alien invasion on top of them,” says Duffield. “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.”

Duffield set out to create a compelling character that viewers would want to learn more about, aliens or no aliens. He claims that they appear about eight minutes into the film, which is unfortunate for her. “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.”

Brynn, played by Kaitlyn Dever, is a formidable fighter when it comes to her unwelcome and unearthly intruders. Duffield considers the actress to be one of the best of her generation.

“We were so excited to have Kaitlyn join us because—like Brynn being thrust into a whole new world—Kaitlyn had never done a movie so aggressively physical and sci-fi before,” Brian Duffield says. “I think audiences will be blown away by how commanding Kaitlyn is on screen as she uses her solitude and silence to create a truly unique and complex character.”

“No One Will Save You” is Duffield’s sophomore feature; he also wrote, produced, and directed “Spontaneous,” an adaptation of Aaron Starmer’s young adult novel starring Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer that has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 96%.

Duffield recently produced Universal’s “Cocaine Bear,” directed by Elizabeth Banks, as well as the upcoming “Borderline,” directed by Jimmy Warden.

Tim White, Trevor White, Allan Mandelbaum, and Duffield produce; Dever and Joshua Throne executive produce.

“No One Will Save You” will premiere exclusively on Hulu in the United States, Star+ in Latin America, and Disney+ in all other territories on September 22, 2023.
