1st look at Emile Hirsch in The Darkest Hour

I was getting worried that sci-fi action pic The Darkest Hour would quietly slip by without anybody taking notice of it. Even though it packs a sweet young cast in Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby(the real Juno breakout), Max Minghella(Art School Confidential), Rachel Taylor(Transformers), and the not so young Greg Kinnear, we've seen a ton of movies just like it over the last few years. That makes it tough to gain a foot hold. 

Directed by Chris Gorak and produced by Timur Bekmambetov(Wanted), it follows five people stranded in Moscow during an alien invasion. Josh Zetumer wrote the script.  The Darkest Hour is set to open in 3D on December 23rd, continuing that month's loaded schedule.  Here's our first look at Emile Hirsch, ducking and hiding with the Red Square in the background.
