This month, a heartwarming new sci-fi adventure crashlands on Earth, and we want to invite you to be among the first to witness it, Los Angeles. Collider is proud to partner with Kevin Hart’s entertainment company Hartbeat, Tabooma, and Blue Fox Entertainment to offer our readers the opportunity to catch this out-of-this-world journey early, with XENO, before it officially hits theaters. After the screening, stars Lulu Wilson (The Wrath of Becky), Omari Hardwick (Star Trek: Section 31), Trae Romano (Stargirl), Garrett van der Leun (Lost Woods), and writer-director Matthew Loren Oates (Wasted) will join us for a special Q&A conversation. Read on for details on how to enter for your chance to win free tickets.
Unlike the horrors of Hulu’s Alien: Earth, XENO is not about a hostile extraterrestrial creature terrorizing mankind, though good luck convincing the government of that. In the movie, a teenage girl, Renee (Wilson), discovers a frightening alien life form out in the desert one night. Fortunately for Renee, she and the creature form a powerful bond, hurtling the duo into an epic adventure that questions the true nature of good and evil. As the government is closing in on them, and Renee uncovers a secret that could alter the fate of both of their worlds, she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her new friend.
