The Singularity is coming, that much is for sure, but will it look like Johnny Depp and tear people apart at a molecular level? That’s the theory of Transcendence. Check out the spooky trailer here.
Transcendence is directed by Wally Pfister: long-time Hollywood cinematographer for people like Christopher Nolan. This will be his first directorial debut.
Here’s the synopsis:
Dr Will Caster is an artificial intelligence researcher who strives to create a machine that possesses sentience and collective intelligence. Extremists who oppose technological advancement target him, but their actions drive him toward his goal. Caster also wants to become part of the new technology, and his wife Evelyn and his best friend Max Waters, also researchers, question the wisdom of this drive. Caster’s goal to acquire knowledge becomes one to acquire power, and he seems to be unstoppable.
This one hits cinemas in April 2014.
