Second ‘Transcendence’ Trailer Debuts Online!

Briefly: Following some interesting teasers (check them out here and here) and the film’s first trailer back in December, Paramount has just released the second trailer for The Dark Knight Rises cinematographer Wally Pfister’s directorial debut, Transcendence.

The newest preview is clearly similar to the trailer we’ve already seen, but it definitely expands on the “this is going too far” aspect of Depp’s, well, transcendence. The film features an all-star cast consisting of Johnny Depp, Kate Mara, Morgan Freeman, Rebecca Hall, Cillian Murphy, and plenty of others, and everyone look well used in the picture. I really cannot wait to see this one.

Transcendence hits theatres on April 17th, and it’s definitely one to watch out for. Take a look at the preview below, and let us know what you think!

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) 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 (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), 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.
