Trippy Trailer For Sci-Fi Thriller DREAMQUIL Starring Elizabeth Banks and John C. Reilly
A new trailer has been released for the sci-fi thriller DreamQuil, starring Elizabeth Banks and John C. Reilly, as well as Juliette Lewis, Sofia Boutella, Kathryn Newton, Lamorne Morris, Toby Larsen, and Anna Marie Dobbins. The film is directed by Alex Prager in her feature directorial debut, from a script she co-wrote with Vanessa Prager.
The film’s synopsis reads: Set in the not so distant future when poor air quality leads to people living mostly virtually lives. Carol is a dissatisfied career mother, struggling to find connection within her marriage to Gary and her child.
With the day to day familiarity of their home and lives feeling increasingly claustrophobic, and worried she could be heading towards divorce, Carol leaps at the chance to get her life back on track by signing up for "DreamQuil", an avant-garde digital wellness retreat.
When Carol returns home, she discovers her family has been living with "Carol 2", a robot the corporation sent designed to help in her absence, and things take a mysterious and sinister turn.
This looks pretty weird and original, which is what many of us are asking for these days, but it will depend on the strength of the story, as we can tell the cast is solid. DreamQuil debuted at SXSW earlier this year, but it doesn’t currently have a release date.
Check out the trailer below, and we will let you know when we hear more.
