He was backed by Scott Rudin, producer, who also produced Ex-Machina. Since Rudin has final cut, he and Garland won the battle. In turn, it seems that Paramount tried to appease both sides, and decided to try and find a streaming platform for release.

Based on a bestselling book by Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation follows a biologist Portman as she journeys into a hostile, unknown territory called Area X; trailers for the film have emphasized its suspenseful action and surreal visuals.
