A clairvoyant attempts to change his fate in a twisty trailer for Volition

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

While some movies arrive as nothing more than mindless offerings of entertainment meant to facilitate the consumption of popcorn and perhaps a few drinks, other films make it their mission to twist your brain meats into a pretzel, forcing you to question everything you've learned about the story that's unfolding before your very eyes. It's with the latter in mind that I submit for your approval a trailer for VOLITION, a time-bending cerebral science-fiction thriller that aims to take viewers down a dark and murderous path.

In VOLITION, a man afflicted with clairvoyance (Adrian Glynn McMorran) tries to change his fate when a series of events leads to a vision of his own imminent murder. Awarded as "Best Feature" at the Philip K. Dick Film Festival, among a slew of other awards and critical acclaim, VOLITION boasts that it's a tightly-wound puzzle of a ride.

Hailing from Giant Pictures, VOLITION is directed by Tony Dean Smith, who also co-wrote the script with Ryan W. Smith. The film stars Adrian Glynn McMorran, Magda Apanowicz, John Cassini, Frank Cassini, Aleks Paunovic and Bill Marchant, among others, for a story that's as unpredictable as the future itself.

In addition to the film's new trailer reveal, Giant Pictures has also debuted a new poster for VOLITION, which you can check out for yourself below.

VOLITION will premiere in select theaters and on Apple TV, Prime Video and other platforms on July 10, 2020.
