A retro sci-fi thriller that’s Executive Produced by Steven Soderbergh, Divinity recently premiered at Sundance, and the film is getting a wide theatrical release later this week.
From distributors Utopia and Sumerian, Divinity opens nationwide in theaters on Friday, November 3, following limited theatrical rollouts in New York and Los Angeles.
While you wait, you can check out the RED BAND trailer for Divinity below, being debuted by Bloody Disgusting today. It’s loaded with wild imagery, and it’s definitely NSFW.
You have been warned…
Utopia partnered with Sumerian to acquire the film out of Sundance.
Utopia and Sumerian said of their partnership, “Our worlds collided when falling in love with Eddie’s film and vision for Divinity. The film represents a cultural crossroads of film, music, fashion and art. We believe that this partnership represents the beginning of a new era where stories can live on screen and off the screen by blurring the lines between a film itself and the integral components that compose a film’s DNA.”
Eddie Alcazar wrote and directed Divinity. Here’s the plot synopsis…
Set in an otherworldly human existence, scientist Sterling Pierce (Scott Bakula) dedicated his life to the quest for immortality, slowly creating the building blocks of a groundbreaking serum named “Divinity.” Jaxxon Pierce (Stephen Dorff), his son, now controls and manufactures his father’s once-benevolent dream.
Society on this barren planet has been entirely perverted by the supremacy of the drug, whose true origins are shrouded in mystery. Two mysterious brothers (Moises Arias and Jason Genao) arrive with a plan to abduct the mogul, and with the help of a seductive woman named Nikita (Karrueche Tran), they will be set on a path hurtling toward true immortality.
Bella Thorne also stars in the film, featuring music by DJ Muggs and Dean Hurley.
Trace Thurman reviewed Divinity for Bloody Disgusting, calling the film a “stunningly original, weird-as-hell sci-fi trip.” Trace writes, “The worldbuilding is exquisite, so it’s no wonder that an Soderbergh opted to produce the film. Divinity is a vibe, but what the film lacks in commercial appeal it more than makes up for in a seemingly unending supply of creativity.”
