Three Clips From David Cronenberg's CRIMES OF THE FUTURE Highlight the Strangeness of the Story
Are you curious about David Cronenberg’s upcoming new film Crimes of the Future? Well, I’ve got three new clips here for you to watch that offer you a little more insight, and the clips highlight the strangeness of the film. I love Cronenberg’s filmmaking style, and this movie looks like it is 100% crazy Cronenberg! As you’ll see in the clips, things get really weird really fast.
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 (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), a celebrity performance artist in this future, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Kristen 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). It also stars Scott Speedman and Tanaya Beatty.
The movie will premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and Neon will release it in theaters in June 2022.
