New Trailer for “Transcendence” Starring Johnny Depp

A new trailer has emerged for “Transcendence,” which will be in theaters on April 18. The sci-fi film, which is Wally Pfister’s directorial debut, is about a terminally ill scientist who pushes the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence to a dangerous level. The film stars Kate Mara, Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Paul Bettany, and Rebecca Hall.

The “Transcendence” storyline is as follows:

“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 Wills 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.”
