Imagine looking outside your suburban home and realizing the neighborhood has changed.
Then imagine finding out you're apparently not at the top of the food chain anymore.
The End of Oak Street is in theaters today, August 14, bringing Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor together for a new sci-fi survival story involving a mysterious cosmic event, a displaced neighborhood, and prehistoric creatures.
Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, the film follows the Platt family after a cosmic event transports their suburban neighborhood to someplace unknown. With their familiar surroundings suddenly transformed into something far more dangerous, the family has to stick together and figure out how they're going to survive.
And yes, there are prehistoric creatures involved.
Suburbia Just Got Prehistoric
That's probably the part that immediately has our attention.
Rather than sending its characters on an expedition into dinosaur territory, The End of Oak Street flips the scenario around. An ordinary suburban family suddenly finds itself dealing with strange events and creatures that definitely don't belong anywhere near the neighborhood.
The mystery surrounding exactly where they've been transported adds another layer to the survival story. Something cosmic has happened, their surroundings are no longer what they seem, and the Platt family has to navigate this unfamiliar world while confronting its prehistoric inhabitants.
The cast is led by Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, with Maisy Stella and Christian Convery rounding out the central family. David Robert Mitchell writes, directs, and co-produces the film, with J.J. Abrams also attached to the production.
Running approximately 99 minutes and rated PG-13, The End of Oak Street arrives from Warner Bros. Pictures after premiering on August 9.
If prehistoric creatures, cosmic mysteries, and survival movies are your thing, this might be one to put on the theatrical watchlist this weekend.
The End of Oak Street is playing in theaters now.
Turns out moving to a quiet suburban neighborhood doesn't guarantee you'll have good neighbors.
