Boutella stars alongside British-American actor Jonny Lee Miller, Puerto Rican actor Ismael Cruz Cordova and American child actress Brooklynn Prince.
“Settlers” is set on a remote homestead on Mars, where a refugee family from Earth clings to hope for a better life.
The Algiers-born actress and Miller take on the role of parents to Remmy (Prince).
The trailer kicks off with the voice of Remmy saying: “There’s strangers nearby. I’m scared,” prompting her father to respond, “No, it’s just us, there’s nothing to be scared of. No one’s going to mess with you kid,” as he tucks her into bed.
The 39-year-old features throughout the trailer tending to plants in a greenhouse and protecting her daughter from armed invaders.
The science fiction film set to premiere this year was directed by Wyatt Rockefeller, marking his feature narrative debut.
Meanwhile, Julie Fabrizio, Joshua Horsfield and Johan Kruge all served as co-producers for the film.
