Great Trailer for Catherine Hardwicke's A.I. Sci-Fi Thriller DON'T LOOK DEEPER
I’ve got a great trailer here for an interesting a cool-looking artificial intelligence sci-fi thriller Quibi series titled Don’t Look Now. The project comes from Catherine Hardwicke (Lords of Dogtown, Twilight), and it stars Helena Howard (Madeline’s Madeline), Don Cheadle, and Emily Mortimer.
I actually really dig the concept of the story. It’s set in Merced, California, “fifteen minutes into the future,” and it centers on “a high school senior who can’t seem to shake the feeling that something about her just isn’t right. And that something is… she’s not human… not one of us. This revelation of what she really is, where she comes from, and who has started looking for her, sets in motion a series of events that suddenly puts her entire life in jeopardy.”
It turns out that she’s an A.I. robot, and there are a lot of questions that need to be answered and dark mysteries that need to be solved that involves her life. I’m certainly intrigued by what I saw in the trailer! When talking about the development of the series for Quibi, Hardwicke told Collider:
“We didn’t have an old script sitting around that we had to get the scissors out and cut it up into sections. We had something that was conceived that way, which actually I think is relevant to the form. The series plays with memory in a non-linear story structure, which allows memories to be erased and brought back.”
Don’t Look Deeper is co-written by Charlie McDonnell and Lost co-creator Jeffrey Lieber, who also serves as showrunner. The series also stars Ema Horvath, Jan Luis Castellanos, Belissa Escobedo, Kaiwi Lyman, Harvey Zielinski, Harvey Guillen, Brandon Win, Kayleigh Gilbert, and Dana Gourrier.
Don’t Look Deeper comes to Quibi on July 27, 2020.
