VR Gets Dangerously Real in Trailer for Chloë Grace Moretz's Sci-Fi Thriller Series THE PERIPHERAL
Amazon has released a new trailer for an awesome-looking new sci-fi action series The Peripheral. The show was created by the creative behind Westworld, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and it looks like that developed a really cool and exciting project!
The series is an adaptation of William Gibson’s novel that focuses on two different visions of the future. One of them is set int the world of Virtual Reality, and that world gets dangerously real!
The series stars Chloë Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass, Carrie) as Flynne Fisher, “a woman trying to hold together the pieces of her broken family in a forgotten corner of tomorrow's America. Flynne is smart, ambitious, and doomed. She has no future. Until the future comes calling for her. The Peripheral is master storyteller William Gibson’s dazzling, hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind — and what lies beyond.”
Flynne Fisher lives in the rural American South, “working at the local 3D printing shop, while earning much needed extra money playing VR games for rich people. One night she dons a headset and finds herself in futuristic London—a sleek and mysterious world, alluringly different from her own hardscrabble existence.”
But this isn’t like any game she’s ever played before: “Flynne begins to realize it isn’t virtual reality… it’s real. Someone in London, seventy years in the future, has found a way to open a door to Flynne’s world. And as utterly beguiling as London is… it’s also dangerous. As Flynne searches to discover who has connected their worlds, and for what purpose, her presence here sets dangerous forces into motion…forces intent on destroying Flynne and her family in her own world.”
The show also stars Jack Reynor as Burton Fisher, with Eli Goree as Conner, Charlotte Riley as Aelita, JJ Feild as Lev, Adelind Horan as Billy Ann Baker, T’Nia Miller as Cherise, Alex Hernandez as Tommy Constantine, Austin Rising as Leon, Louis Herthum as Corbell Pickett, Chris Coy as Jasper, Melinda Page Hamilton as Ella, Katie Leung as Ash, and Alexandra Billings as Detective Ainsley Lowbeer.
The Peripheral will premiere on October 21st, only on Amazon Prime Video.
