The first trailer for new sci-fi movie The End of Oak Street is here – and a family's life is thrown into chaos when their neighborhood is seemingly transported back to prehistoric times.

Directed by It Follows helmer David Robert Mitchell and produced by JJ Abrams, the movie's official synopsis states, "After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings."

"Mom? What's happening to us?" Sweet Tooth star Christian Convery asks as the trailer opens. "I think… our house, our neighborhood, our whole street has moved," replies Anne Hathaway's character. As Ewan McGregor's patriarch wonders aloud how that's even possible, we see that the residential street abruptly cuts off into a cliff edge that ends in a rainforest – and dinosaurs.

The movie, which was formerly known by its working title Flowervale Street, also stars Maisy Stella as the Platts daughter, alongside The Wolf of Wall Street's PJ Byrne, and The Walking Dead's Chris Coy.

This is Mitchell's first movie in almost a decade – his last film was 2018's Under the Silver Lake, starring Andrew Garfield as a man investigating his neighbor's disappearance. He's also working on a long-awaited sequel to horror classic It Follows. "Rumors have been spreading that it will be happening. So I would stay positive because I've heard some good news recently," its star Maika Monroe said last month.

The End of Oak Street arrives in theaters on August 14. For more on what to watch, check out our guide to the rest of this year's biggest movie release dates.
