Science breeds a horrific being in the new trailer for Morgan

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Last month we saw the first trailer for Luke Scott's (son of Ridley Scott) MORGAN, which tells the tale of a corporate risk-management consultant (Kate Mara) who has to decide whether or not to terminate an artificial being's life that was made in a laboratory environment. While the first trailer looked to mash up the ethical quandaries of EX MACHINA with the scares of ALIEN, this trailer falls much more on the latter side of the spectrum.

As others have already noted, this trailer looks much more generic than the previous one. The moral questions are tossed aside in favor of another "monster movie", although depending on how it's handled, it could be fun. I'm not really sure if the telekinesis makes sense (please don't give us that "percentage of brain being used" excuse), but who knows? Maybe Paul Giammatti will yell at Morgan so hard, her face will melt off, RAIDERS-style. Now there's a movie I'd pay to see!

MORGAN will open in theaters on September 2, 2016.
