Buckle up for an impending alien invasion, as Brian Duffield, the mind behind 20th Century Studios’ much-anticipated No One Will Save You, warns that extraterrestrial forces are on the horizon. Duffield, who both wrote and directed the film, unveils a unique sci-fi psychological thriller that delves into the psyche of a young woman grappling with a tumultuous past.
“I wanted the movie to take the lead of a small, intimate character study and drop an alien invasion on top of them,” shares Duffield. “The end of the world won’t only be for those who are ready for it, and the idea of an alien movie rudely bursting the bubble our character has spent years building and cultivating felt like a unique way to tell a favorite story.”
Duffield embarked on a mission to craft a character so captivating that viewers would be drawn into her world, even without the looming alien threat. However, as fate would have it, the extraterrestrials make their appearance approximately eight minutes into the movie. “I think there’s a deeply buried feeling that every alien invasion movie could turn out to be true because they remain such an unknown in our daily lives. As our world careens more and more out of control, maybe there’s even a desire that there’s something out there smarter than us that can help put us on a more sane path. The aliens in ‘No One Will Save You’ are superior to humans in every way, which makes Brynn and her surprising resistance somewhat puzzling to them.”
Taking on the pivotal role of Brynn is the talented Kaitlyn Dever, who showcases her mettle as a formidable fighter against unwelcome and unearthly intruders. Duffield heaps praise on Dever, labeling her as one of the brightest talents of her generation. “We were so excited to have Kaitlyn join us because—like Brynn being thrust into a whole new world—Kaitlyn had never done a movie so aggressively physical and sci-fi before,” he notes. “I think audiences will be blown away by how commanding Kaitlyn is on screen as she uses her solitude and silence to create a truly unique and complex character.”

“No One Will Save You” marks Duffield’s sophomore directorial effort, following his acclaimed work on “Spontaneous” in 2020, an adaptation of Aaron Starmer’s young adult novel that featured Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer and achieved a Certified Fresh rating of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Duffield’s recent ventures include producing “Cocaine Bear,” directed by Elizabeth Banks for Universal, and the upcoming “Borderline,” helmed by Jimmy Warden.
As the countdown to “No One Will Save You” continues, audiences are in for a cinematic experience that combines the depths of human emotion with the suspense of an impending alien invasion. Brian Duffield’s visionary storytelling promises to deliver a unique journey into the unknown.
