If you can’t wait to see David Cronenberg‘s new movie Crimes of the Future, coming to theaters in NY & LA on June 3 before expanding wide on June 10, you’ll be happy to know that today brings some new marketing materials to whet your appetite even further.
NEON has shared two official first-look clips from Crimes of the Future, found below, which tease the highly unique relationship between Kristen Stewart‘s Timlin and Viggo Mortensen‘s Saul Tenser. In addition, they’ve debuted a series of character posters that spotlight Timlin and Saul alongside characters including Klinek (Ear Man) and Léa Seydoux‘s Caprice.
The wait is almost over. Preview Cronenberg’s body horror return below.
In the film, “As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner, Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), a celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances.
“Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission – to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.”
“Crimes of the Future is a meditation on human evolution… the ways in which we have had to take control of the process because we have created such powerful environments that did not exist previously,” said Cronenberg. “[It’s] an evolution of things I have done before. Fans will see key references to other scenes and moments from my other films. That’s a continuity of my understanding of technology as connected to the human body. Technology is always an extension of the human body, even when it seems to be very mechanical and non-human.”
The film’s cast also includes Scott Speedman, Welket Bungué, Don McKellar, Lihi Kornowski, Tanaya Beatty, Nadia Litz, Yorgos Karamichos, and Yorgos Pirpassopoulos.
