Read more about Calvin (Life) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Skydance Life is a 2017 American science fiction film directed by Daniel Espinosa, written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, and Ryan Reynolds. The film follows a six-member crew of the International Space Station that uncovers the first evidence of life on Mars. The only co-production between Skydance Media and Sony Pictures, the film had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 18, 2017, and was theatrically released in the United States by Columbia Pictures on March 24, 2017. It received mixed reviews, with praise for its acting, visuals and screenplay, but was compared unfavorably with films like Alien (1979). The film grossed over $100 million worldwide. In the near future, an unmanned space probe returns from Mars to Earth orbit with soil samples potentially containing evidence of extraterrestrial life. The probe is intercepted by the International Space Station, whose six-member crew retrieves its samples. Exobiologist Hugh Derry revives a dormant cell from the sample, which quickly grows into a multi-celled organism that American schoolchildren name "Calvin". Derry realizes that Calvin's cells can change their specialization, acting as muscle, neuron, and photosensory cells all at once. During an experiment by Derry, Calvin suddenly becomes hostile, wrapping itself around Derry's hand and crushing it. Calvin then escapes its enclosure and devours a lab rat, growing in size. Engineer Rory Adams rescues Derry, but Calvin grabs onto his leg, prompting physician David Jordan to lock Adams in the lab. After Adams unsuccessfully attempts to fight off Calvin, Calvin enters his mouth, devouring his internal organs and killing him. After several minutes, Calvin emerges from Adams' mouth, larger than before, and escapes the lab through a fire-control vent.
