Second Full Trailer for Johnny Depp's TRANSCENDENCE
Warner Bros. has released a second trailer for Johnny Depp's upcoming sci-fi thriller Transcendence. As you would expect, it's packed full of new footage. The film was directed by Wally Pfister, and also stars Morgan Freeman, Rebecca Hall, Cillian Murphy, Clifton Collins Jr., Kate Mara, and Paul Bettany. The movie looks pretty freakin' awesome, and I hope that it turns out to be as good as it looks. It definitely looks like the kind of film that is going to spark some long conversations.
Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can…but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will’s thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.
The movie comes out on April 17th, 2014.
