Following on the heels of the first teaser for Wally Pfister's directorial debut, Transcendence, a second one has been released. This one follows much the same logic path as the first one, except rather than a digitized Johnny Depp voicing the film's heavy concepts, this trailer is made instantly more awesome with Morgan Freeman as narrator. Could we see the rest of the major supporting cast voice their own teasers?
Co-starring Rebecca Hall, Kate Mara, Paul Bettany, and Cillian Murphy, Transcendence opens April 18th 2014.
PLOT: Dr. Will Caster (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 (Hall) and best friend Max Waters (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.
