Crimes of the Future: New posters introduce us to David Cronenberg’s twisted characters

If you’re like me, you needed David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future in your veins like yesterday. Every thing I’m hearing about this movie and every trailer I’ve seen just makes me believe this will be signature Cronenberg. Meaning it’s going to be a twistsd blast. NEON is set to release the film in Los Angeles and New York on June 3, 2022, before going wide on June 10, 2022, and to hold us over before the release, they have released a series of character posters to introduce us to the film’s twisted characters.

Via Bloody Disgusting, The character posters feature spotlight Timlin, played by Kristen Stewart, and Saul, played by Cronenberg regular as of late, Viggo Mortensen. We also get images for other characters including Klinek (Ear Man) and Léa Seydoux‘s Caprice. You can check out the character posters below!

Per the film’s official Synopsis:

“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-huma.”

In addition to the aforementioned cast, the ensemble also includes Scott Speedman, Welket Bungué, Don McKellar, Lihi Kornowski, Tanaya Beatty, Nadia Litz, Yorgos Karamichos, and Yorgos Pirpassopoulos.
