After working closely with Danny Boyle on films such as Sunshine, 28 Days Later, and The Beach, Alex Garland expanded his resume, scripting Never Let Me Go and Dredd. Now this year will mark the debut of his first helming effort, the sci-fi drama Ex Machina, and today the first look has arrived thanks to the producers DNA Films (via HeyUGuys).
Above, one can see Domhnall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac in the story of a love triangle, which also includes Alicia Vikander as a robot woman. With Universal Pictures holding the worldwide U.S. distribution rights, there’s no news yet on exactly when we’ll see it, but a fall festival premiere seems likely. Check out the official synopsis below as we await further news.
Caleb, a 24 year old coder at the world’s largest internet company, wins a competition to spend a week at a private mountain retreat belonging to Nathan, the reclusive CEO of the company. But when Caleb arrives at the remote location he finds that he will have to participate in a strange and fascinating experiment in which he must interact with the world’s first true artificial intelligence, housed in the body of a beautiful robot girl.
Update: Check out another image featuring Vikander below.
Are you looking forward to the project?
