As the summer season approaches, the TNT network in the US is providing a taster of what’s to come. One of its main attractions is the alien invasion show Falling Skies, from an executive producer who knows a thing or two about that world, Steven Spielberg.

The clip (available on the TNT site) offers a nice and economical introduction, by setting up a backstory via a child’s innocent point of view. Like the recent TV adaptation of The Walking Dead, it will be fun to see another genre piece being given time to breathe and play out at a more leisurely pace.

It certainly looks grittier than the recent reinvent of famed alien domination series V, and these intergalactic critters share more of a resemblance to Spielberg’s 2005 invasion feature War of the Worlds, than his cuddly, homesick phone-hogging 80’s space creature.

A decent cast (including ER veteran Noah Wyle and sturdy supporting player Will Patton) should help engage audiences with this world. Enjoy.

Here’s the new trailer for The Fourth Kind which stars Milla Jovovich, Will Patton, Elias Koteas and is directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. It’s released 6th November.

Synopsis: 1n 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document”¦until now. Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where””mysteriously since the 1960s””a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year.

Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.
