What happens when an advanced artificial intelligence is designed by someone with a desperate need to be reunited with lost loved one? Well, if you’ve ever seen a sci-fi movie in your life then you know what to expect from Archive, but there’s a reason why that story remains so popular to this day.
Archive marks the directorial debut of Gavin Rothery, a concept designer on Duncan Jones’ Moon. So his sci-fi creds are pretty well-established, and let’s hope he can say something new with a well-worn concept. The film stars Theo James and Rhona Mitra, both veterans of the Underworld franchise, along with Stacy Martin and Toby Jones. Pretty damn solid cast.
The film was to be part of the SXSW lineup before COVID-19 caused a cancellation.
SYNOPSIS: 2038: George Almore is working on a true human-equivalent AI. His latest prototype is almost ready. This sensitive phase is also the riskiest. Especially as he has a goal that must be hidden at all costs: being reunited with his dead wife.
Look for Archive to hit digital and VOD on July 10th.
