ARRIVAL, the new sci-fil drama from Paramount Pictures. Starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker the film hits theaters on November 11, 2016. Below, check out photos of the cast at a press conference held at this week's Toronto International Film Festival!

Visionary Quebecois auteur Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Enemy,Sicario) directs Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker in this sci-fi drama about the panic that follows a wave of mysterious spacecraft landings across the globe.

Throughout his film career, acclaimed Canadian director Denis Villeneuve has adapted to different genres, and his latest feature, Arrival, is no exception. Arrivalhonours classic Science fiction while also creating something truly original.

When 12 alien spacecraft land around the world, linguistics expert Dr. Louise Banks (Amy Adams, also appearing at the Festival in Nocturnal Animals) and theoretical physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner) are recruited by the US military to obtain the answer to one question: "What do they want?" Arriving in Montana, working under the leadership of Colonel Weber (Forest Whitaker), Louise and Ian are only remotely aware that their lives and the future of humanity are about to become inextricably linked. As the unlikely pair collaborate to solve this extraterrestrial translation puzzle, 11 other teams around the world are attempting to do the same.

Certain to thrill mainstream moviegoers, cinephiles, sci-fi fans, and linguistics nerds alike, Arrival challenges the notion that technology improves our ability to communicate by focusing on the fundamentals. Villeneuve finds excitement in the details, crafting an atmosphere where dissecting the various components and interpretations of a sentence is as gripping as the first sight of aliens.

Aided by Bradford Young's arresting cinematography, Jóhann Jóhannsson's captivating score, and long-time collaborator Patrice Vermette's minimalist production design, Villeneuve shows masterful control over tone as he creates palpable tension that quietly builds to the film's powerful conclusion. At once beautiful and haunting, Arrival is an alien movie that is fundamentally human.
