Following the announcement that the film will premiere at this year’s Cannes Film festival, a initial teaser trailer for David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future has debuted online courtesy of NEON. The film will premiere in competition at this year’s prestigious festival in the south of France next month. Check out this awesome first poster.
The film is set in a not-so-distant future where humankind is learning to adapt to its synthetic surroundings and, as humans alter their biological makeup -some naturally, some surgically – the body itself becomes art.
The official synopsis is as follows.
Asthe human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission –to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.
Check out the teaser below. We are SO looking forward to this one.
