Neil Burger‘s follow-up to The Illusionist (not Chomet’s well-received animation of course) is Limitless. Previously titled The Dark Fields, this thriller stars Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, Robert De Niro, Anna Friel and Tomas Arana. The premise is certainly interesting and with this promo for the pill in the film, the new title makes much more sense. Check it out below.
Plot: Based on the novel by Alan Glynn with a screenplay written by Leslie Dixon (Mrs. Doubtfire, The Thomas Crown Affair, Hairspray), Limitless is an exciting “What if?” story that unveils a designer drug that could make you rich and powerful. Eddie (Bradley Cooper) is a down and out New York writer until he comes to possess a pill that gives him the ability to access the full capacity of his brain. Soon Eddie realizes the use of his newfound superior intelligence and success comes at a heavy price as mysterious antagonists pursue him and dangers of the amazing new drug are revealed.
Limitless hits theaters March 18th, 2011 and I’m sure the pill will hit shelves soon after.
