A new poster and trailer has been released for Johnny Depp‘s upcoming April, 2014 film, Transcendence. The film sees Depp as a world renowned scientist who is trying to build the worlds first artificial intelligence that acts with emotions, something that would be far superior than any human-being.
The films tackles the ever-growing world fears that computers are becoming far too intelligent, far too important for human life. That they are surpassing us in every way and adding an emotional element into it furthers that fear. Things don’t look too good for Depp, however, when an assassination attempt is made on him and his own consciousness is uploaded into a computer.
Boasting a superb cast including Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Morgan Freeman and Cillian Murphy alongside Depp the films gives us a look at the Universe that first time Director Wally Pfister has created. It’s a very exciting look and that in part could be down to Pfister’s long-time experience as Nolan’s cinematographer on films such as The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception.
It’s fair to say with Pfister at the helm of a tremendous cast and interesting, although wornout, concept, we expect big, big things for Transcendence come April.
