Aliens in the electricity? Or is the lightning attacking them? Apple has unveiled more concept art images for Chris Gorak's The Darkest Hour, the sci-fi thriller set in Moscow starring Emile Hirsch, Rachael Taylor and Olivia Thirlby. The trailer is online officially now, and we just featured a first look photo recently, but details were still a bit hazy about what exactly the extraterrestrial force is that is invading Earth this time. However, with hints prior and these new photos, it really looks like the the aliens are the electricity. Maybe it's only safe to fight them at night. I'm very interested in seeing a lot more from this - bring on the trailer!

Directed by Chris Gorak (Right at Your Door), produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) and written by Jon Spaihts (Ridley Scott's Prometheus), the film is about five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. Emile Hirsch (Speed Racer) leads the cast that also includes Olivia Thirlby (Juno), Max Minghella (Agora, The Social Network), Rachael Taylor (Transformers) and Joel Kinnaman. Summit Entertainment is bringing Chris Gorak's The Darkest Hour to theaters everywhere starting December 23rd, Christmas weekend, this winter. This looks like one to watch, I'm very intrigued by this original sci-fi.
