Arrival is a 2016 American

drama film directed by Denis Villeneuve and written by Eric Heisserer, based on the short story "Story of Your Life" by author Ted Chiang. The film stars Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg and Tzi Ma
.

Arrival had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 1, 2016 and is scheduled to be released in the United States on November 11, 2016 in IMAX by Paramount Pictures.

Synopsis

When multiple mysterious extraterrestrial spacecraft touch down across the globe, an elite team is put together to investigate, including

US Army Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker
). Mankind teeters on the verge of global war as everyone scrambles for answers—and to find them, Banks, Donnelly, and Weber will take a chance that could threaten their lives, and, quite possibly, humanity.

Cast

Production

Villeneuve had wanted to make a science fiction film for some time although he "never found the right thing."[4] Meanwhile screenwriter Eric Heisserer had been trying to pitch an adaptation of Story of Your Life to no great success for years, and by the time producers Cohen and Levine approached him about a potential sci-fi project had largely given up on the idea. [5] Cohen and Levine however introduced Villeneuve to the novella which the director immediately took to, although his work on Prisoners meant that he did not have the time to properly adapt it into a screenplay.[4] Cohen and Levine meanwhile were able to get a first draft completed which Villeneuve later reworked into a finished script.[4] Villeneuve ended up changing the title in part because the resulting script became so far removed from the short story as well as the fact that "it sounded more like a romantic comedy."[4] Although Villeneuve by his recollection went through "hundreds" of possible titles, the resulting title, Arrival, was the first one the team came up with.[4]

CIA Agent Halpern that June.[7][8]

Filming began in mid-June 2015, right after Renner completed the shooting of Captain America: Civil War.[6] Principal photography on the film began on June 7, 2015 in Montréal, Québec, Canada.[9][10]

Music

vocals and experimental piano loops.[11]

Release

A teaser trailer was released in August 2016 followed the next week by the first official trailer.[12] Paramount Pictures released a series of posters to promote the film, with one showing a UFO hovering above Hong Kong's skyline which included Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower. The inaccuracy angered many Hong Kong social media users. The posters were taken down and a statement was made which attributed the inaccuracy to a third party vendor.[13]

In May 2014, Paramount Pictures acquired U.S distribution rights to the film.[14] Shortly after, Sony Pictures and Stage 6 Films acquired international distribution rights to the film.[15] The film had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 1, 2016.[16] The film will also screen at the Toronto International Film Festival.[17][18] Telluride Film Festival,[19] and the BFI London Film Festival.[20] The film is scheduled to be released on November 11, 2016.[21][22]
