They’re coming for us…again.

They Found Us–a new alien abduction thriller from AGC Studios and Temple Hill–is gearing up for production in Australia later this year, with Oscar-nominated Neill Blomkamp (District 9) in the director’s chair, according to a report on Deadline.

The film–based on an original screenplay by Jeremy Slater (Moon Knight)–stars Joel Kinnaman (For All Mankind) as a father who goes on a camping trip in the Utah wilderness with his daughter Kaylee to heal their broken relationship.

But, “after being attacked by hostile aliens, their lives–and their relationship–are at stake, as they fight with a humanoid beast to stop their abduction to an unknown and terrifying world,” according to the synopsis.

Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen are producing the feature, with John Fischer on board as executive producer.
