Freaky Teaser Trailer for David Cronenberg's CRIMES OF THE FUTURE Starring Viggo Mortensen and Léa Seydoux
Neon has revealed the first teaser trailer for David Cronenberg's upcoming film Crimes of the Future, and it looks like it’s going to be crazy freaky! The movie also comes with an impressive cast that includes Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux, Kristen Stewart, Scott Speedman, and Tanaya Beatty.
This first teaser trailer certainly grabbed my attention, and there’s no doubt that it’s going to tell an intriguing, gripping, and weird story. If you’re a fan of Cronenberg’s work, especially his older stuff, you’re going to like what you see. It’s like this is a culmination of everything he’s created over the course of his career.
The film is set in the not-so-distant future in which humankind is learning to adapt to its synthetic surroundings. “As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner Caprice (Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Mortensen), a celebrity performance artist in this future, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission – to use Saul's notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.”
Crimes of the Future is both written and directed by Cronenberg (The Brood, Scanners, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, The Fly, Dead Ringers, Crash, eXistenZ, Spider, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, Dangerous Method, Cosmopolis, and Maps to the Stars). This movie will premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and Neon will release it in theaters in June 2022.
