5Garland started his career in the 1990s with the publication of his first novel, ''Literature/TheBeach''. He continued working as a novelist while beginning to work as a screenwriter in the early 2000s with his script for ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater''. Continuing writing screenplays for films such as ''Film/{{Sunshine}}'' and ''Film/{{Dredd}}'', Garland eventually landed his directorial debut with the 2014 film ''Film/ExMachina''.

7Since then, Garland has turned heads and generally received critical acclaim for his works. He continued writing and directing with additional films, 2018's ''Film/{{Annihilation|2018}}'' (which [[SciFiHorror combines sci-fi and horror]]) and 2022's ''Film/{{Men}}'' (which is a horror film outright), as well as the MiniSeries ''Series/{{Devs}}'', which he created for [[Creator/{{FXNetworks}} FX]][=/=]Creator/{{Hulu}} in 2020.

9In 2024, following the announcement of his fourth film ''Film/{{Civil War|2024}}'', Garland stated his intention to step back from directing for "the foreseeable future" to focus exclusively on writing (with Creator/DannyBoyle's upcoming ''28 Years Later'' being his next project). As such, ''Civil War'' will serve as his final directorial effort.
