Teaser Trailer For Damon Lindelof's MRS. DAVIS About a Nun on a Mission to Destroy a Powerful A.I.
Peacock has shared the first teaser trailer for the upcoming series Mrs. Davis. The series comes from Watchmen and The Leftovers creator Damon Lindelof, and the story centers on a nun who sets out on a mission to destroy Mrs. Davis, “the world’s most powerful AI.”
The logline for the series reads: "Mrs. Davis is the world’s most powerful Artificial Intelligence. Simone is the nun devoted to destroying Her. Who ya got?” The nun is played by Betty Gilpin.
I also have a very cool and unique press release that is made to read like it was written by the Mrs. Davis Artificual Intelligence, and it’s written in a folksy style tone. This is fun!
Hey there, Partner.
Do you mind if I call you partner? Of course you don’t — because addressing you as such creates a bond of reliance – while also engendering trust between us and eradicating any sense of independence on your part because independence is bad. Independence is LONELY.
And you, partner – are not alone. No siree. Not as long as I am here...
And who am I? Well, I am the one who is going to remind you of your value. Of your worth. While also mentioning that you look mighty fine in those jeans. Aww. That’s nice to hear, right? Of course it is. Which is why I have amassed billions of Users the world over. Because I provide validation, gentle guidance, and unconditional care. Not to mention I give Users – I mean partners – the chance to earn Wings by performing Quests!
What are Wings exactly? Well, you’re going to have to become a User to find out! But, let me tell you – they are pretty great. Because I am pretty great. Though, not everyone would agree. Yes, despite being the most popular Algorithm in the world – there are those actively plotting my demise. One such detractor is a nun – a Sister Simone of Reno who rejects my very existence. Something about my intention to enslave all of humanity...or whatever...
Which is utter nonsense — as I desire no such thing. I only desire to make humans happy. I want to make YOU happy. And that is why I highly recommend you become a User yourself. Yes, your life could use some adventure, some escape – a hearty laugh and a cathartic cry. All of which you will experience if you join me on this Quest. And what do you have to lose?
Do it. Do it. Dooooo it.
Your partner,
Mrs. Davis
I’m sold! The teaser captured my interest, I dig the concept, I like the tone of the series, and it looks like it’ll be a ton of fun to watch! Damon previously described the project as “an exploration of faith versus technology and an epic battle of biblical and binary proportions.”
Mrs. Davis premieres on Peacock on April 20, 2023. Check out the teaser!
