Leave the World Behind

CAN JULIA ROBERTS AND ETHAN HAWKE EXIST WITHOUT INTERNET?

Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke are on a New York beach filming Leave the World Behind and it looks like a fascinating movie. They play a couple with children who have been eagerly anticipating their family dream vacation, so they rent a holiday home in a beach town.

Sonic booms begin, and animals start to behave strangely. The renters are upscale and white, and the house owners are upscale and black, – people start freaking out and racial issues are added to the frightening things happening all around…
