Black Noise Continues Pettyfer's Biggest Career Trend

Alex Pettyfer in Black Noise

After having made his debut with the movie adaptation of the YA spy novel Stormbreaker, Pettyfer began seeing more success onscreen beginning in 2011 with the trio of modest box office hits I Am Number Four, Beastly, and In Time. He would quickly follow this up with an acclaimed turn in the original Magic Mike movie and the loose historical biopics The Butler and Elvis & Nixon. But it would be two of his three 2011 outings that would mark the start of a career trend of his to star in sci-fi-driven projects.

Pettyfer would first return to the sci-fi genre with the 2018 Netflix miniseries The I-Land, in which a group of people awaken on a deserted tropical island with no memory of who they are or how they got there. Unlike his prior genre efforts, the show was widely panned by critics and audiences alike, with many unfavorably comparing it to Lost and Westworld. He would continue his work in the sci-fi field with the Thomas Jane-co-starring disaster thriller Warning, which ultimately scored mixed reviews from critics, but was more favorably received by audiences.

With his turn in Black Noise, Pettyfer looks to be trying his hand at a similar unseen force that made Bird Box and A Quiet Place franchises successful, though it remains unclear from the trailer whether it's a supernatural or alien entity causing the deadly sound, or if it's a man-made threat. Additionally, with the footage teasing that those hearing the noise will be haunted by something from their past, it will be interesting to see whether Pettyfer's character has a tragic origin or if he's hiding something darker akin to his I-Land character.

Black Noise will be available on digital and on demand on November 3.
