Arrival premiere: A chat with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner on the London Film Festival red carpet

There are sci-fi movies that transcend science and Denis Villeneuve’s latest work belongs to this club. Arrival tells the story of expert linguist Louise (Amy Adams), selected by the US government to try and communicate with the aliens who landed in 12 spots across the globe. Tackling complex non-linear concepts, Arrival is an emotionally devastating slow-burner and this autumn’s must-see movie.

We’ve had a chat with lead actress Amy Adams about working with director Villeneuve, why this sci-fi movie is so special and whether she believes in aliens.

Jeremy Renner praised his experience working with the Canadian director and his co-star Amy Adams.
