Harmony Korine has released the first Baby Invasion poster, teasing his next movie about a home invasion by people with the faces of babies.
What is Baby Invasion about?
The film is described as an interactive, experimental thriller, and is about a group of home invaders breaking into a home, and is filmed from a first-person perspective, while reportedly being structured as a first-person shooter game. The faces of the invaders are obscured purposely, with Korine using AI technology to replace the faces with that of a group of babies.
Check out the Baby Invasion poster below:
Baby Invasion had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, with Korine noting that he filmed over 80 hours of footage for the movie. The score for the film is done by notoriously mysterious electronic artist Burial, with Korine noting to Variety that he had never spoken to or even met with the artist in the process of the soundtrack being done.
Similar to his last film, Aggro Dr1ft, Baby Invasion has no traditional script or cast, and was instead acted out by people that Korine said had done actual home invasions prior. “Some of the cast were actually people that tried to rob a lot of friends of mine,” Korine said (via Variety). “Once they were arrested, we cast them and it just added that extra sense of reality.”
“In a first-person shooter game leaked to the dark web, a group of mercenaries disguised with baby faces invade mansions of the wealthy and powerful,” reads the official synopsis for the film. “However, as gamers livestream the game, the protagonists’ gang of horrific murders may or may not be happening in real life.”
No official release information is available for Baby Invasion as of yet.
