Emma Roberts and Jack Whitehall Cast in a Sci-Fi Comedy Titled ROBOTS
Emma Roberts and Jack Whitehall are set to star in an upcoming sci-fi comedy titled Robots. The movie is being directed by Ant Hines (Borat, Bruno, Da Ali G Show) and it sounds like it’ll be a weird yet fun flick.
Robots is set in the near future in America and it follows “a womanizer and a gold digger who trick people into relationships with illegal robot doubles of themselves. When they unwittingly use this scam on each other, their robot doubles fall in love and elope, forcing the duo to team up to hunt them down before the authorities discover their secret.”
The movie is based on a short story written by science fiction writer Robert Sheckley. Hines also wrote the screenplay with Casper Christensen and he had this to say in a statement:
“When this project was first conceived, it seemed relevant — at the risk of sounding incredibly self-important — it now seems almost necessary. Set against a backdrop of an America seeded by the current administration, empathy has been devalued and one underclass has been expelled, only to be replaced by another: Robots.”
Does this sound like a movie that you might enjoy watching?
