Some weird movie about bug people... or illegal imigrants?

Looks sort of interesting, but that might just be the lack of any real information.

The hell is this? Viral marketing for something?

...It looks like something J.J. Abrams would commission...

It's viral marketing for a sci fi movie. They even have "human only" bench ads where I live.

I'm actually quite pumped about the movie. It's not so much about aliens as it is more about how humans deal with illegal immigrants... who just so happen to have giant superweapons and spacefaring craft which we so legally confiscated when they entered our airspace.

I wouldn't be so interested in it normally because it seems so plain from that point of view. Then I saw that there are no (portrayed) Americans in the movie. Glee!

So... it's like Independance Day except no American machoism (I hope) and we confiscated all the alien weapons and it's in Africa.

Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZnpzfcMheA

WAIT this COULD be based off a book I seen a long time ago.

It was about these Alien Insects who could pass off as normal human beings but experimental drugs mixed with weird accidents made these bug people visable to the group of children involved. (For example one kid jumped in a pool backwards)

I won't give away all the plot but Ill pretty much say that it is a school drama.

Uh, no. It's nothing like that.

Too bad, I love when books I read as a kid become movies/TVshows

Though Nightwing turned out BADLY!!! Honestly it is like they barely read the book.

"Uhh, see those things the main character has"
"You mean flaws?"
"Yeah lets get rid of them"
"But wouldn't that make everyone else a jerk?"
"Yes perfect! what Kid drama wouldn't be complete without an affectionate loser who has everyone around him conspire against him?"
"One that wasn't trying to revive an overused formula"
"Ohh Shut up, Look this is perfect. Ohh except lets remove all this religious analogy and overtones"
"Wait what? but that is almost half the story, how the world will you continue the story once you reach the second book?"
"Honestly, with all this filler potential who needs the second book?"
"I hate you sir, you kill my childhood daily"
"Ohh you will get over it. My next project is turning "My Teacher is a Vampire" series into a episodic TV Series"
"AHHH You must be slain!"
"You cannot kill me, I am too huge too powerful"
"It is true, but I shall harness all the power from the imaginations of children you destroyed to defeat you"
"Ha, it is only making me more powerful!"
"Yes but how large can you get before you are a monopoly"
"Wait what? No, this cannot be how can I be defeated this way!"
"Yes! that is right, once you become a monopoly you will be split up until your too weak to harm anyone ever again!"
"I must flee, to Cuba!"
"Go run to your Cuba, they hold nothing on us in the Cartoon market!"

When I saw the poster I saw a rifle target that looked like Cthulhu and freaked out, thinking they were making some kind of Delta Green or Cthulhu Modern movie.  I'm disappointed, to be honest.

Ok... NO way a Cthuhu Modern movie would look like that.

Well alright... Unless the movie you saw in fact wasn't real but a insane delusion of the person watching it.

Then it makes sense. Though Insanity is real anyhow in Lovecraft.
