This one has somewhat snook up on us, I think. Least I didn't know it was happening. Anyway, Antonio Banderas is starring in an upcoming science fiction movie about robots gaining personalities and stuff! Surprisingly, it actually looks pretty damned good. Don't believe me? Check out the trailer for yourself.
Pretty good, eh? So, what do you make of it? Be sure to let me know in the comments down below.
Fast forward fifty years into the future, planet earth is in the midst of gradual desertification. Mankind struggles to survive as the environment deteriorates and the slow regression of the human race begins in AUTÓMATA. On the brink of life and the reality of death, technology combats the prevailing uncertainty and fear with the creation of the first quantum android, the Automata Pilgrim 7000. Designed to bring support to society's plight, man and robot reveal what it means to co-exist in a culture defined by human nature.
The descent of civilization is juxtaposed by the rise of ROC, the corporation at the helm of robotic intelligence. Despite the demise of humanity, the company has set forth security protocols to ensure mankind always maintains control over the manufactured population. As ROC insurance agent, Jacq Vaucan (Antonio Banderas) routinely investigates cases and complaints surrounding defective androids, he begins to uncover the secrets behind who is really manipulating the Automata Pilgrim 7000. Jacq's own suspicions propel the mystery— uncovering a truth that is far more complex than the make or model of any machine.
The film is directed by Gabe Ibanez and stars Antonio Banderas, Brigitte Hjort Sorensen, Melanie Griffith and Dylan McDermott. The film will be in US cinemas on October 10th this year.
