Filmmaker Thunder Levin dropped a line alerting me that The Asylum has unveiled the trailer for his Costa Rican-lensed science fiction action thriller AE: Apocalypse Earth starring TV “Highlander” Adrian Paul and former teen heartthrob Richard Grieco.

Levin was quite enthusiastic about his newest science fiction opus from The Asylum when I last spoke to him a few weeks back:

“[AE: Apocalypse Earth] is the story of a group of refugees from Earth who have to survive on a hostile alien planet. Adrian Paul plays Lt. Frank Baum, Richard Grieco is Capt. Sam Crowe, Gray Hawks is an android named Tim, and Costa Rican supermodel Bali Rodriguez plays the mysterious humanoid Lea. I’d describe AE as ‘Predator meets Avatar meets Planet of the Apes meets The Wizard Of Oz.’ Apocalypse Earth doesn’t tell nearly the whole story, and by the end of the film, viewers will probably realize that AE stands for something much more important.”

The trailer gives us a good look at some of the alien lifeforms Adrian Paul has to contend with, whether it be of the reptilian, insectoid, or sexy, green-skinned, Captain Kirk-approved alien chicks, when AE: Apocalypse Earth arrives on DVD/VOD/Blu-ray on May 28th.
