Ex Machina and Annihilation writer-director Alex Garland's new movie may focus on a group of journalists covering a second Civil War in the US, but he doesn't see the film as inherently American.
"I don't exactly see it as an American story," he tells GamesRadar+ and Inside Total Film. "There's two primary elements in the film. One is about journalism and the other one is about polarised politics and populism – extremism, essentially – and neither of those things are in any way contained to America."
