So far this week we’ve had two teaser trailers for Wally Pfister’s directorial debut TRANSCENDENCE. The first was narrated by the film’s lead Johnny Depp, and the second by screen legend Morgan Freeman. Now we have a third promo, this time voiced by Kate Mara.
Dr. Will Caster is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn and friend Max, both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can… but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will’s thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power—to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.
Check out the teaser, which is titled ‘Rift Campaign’ below. I’ve heard rumblings that there may be another teaser set for later tonight. As ever, we’ll keep you posted.
TRANSCENDENCE opens in the US on the 14th April, 2014, and the UK on the 25th April, 2014.
