The official trailer for Tarsem Singh’s sci-fi thriller SELF/LESS has dropped, and can be seen below. The film stars Ben Kingsley and Ryan Reynolds and takes place in a near-future where an old body can be discarded in favor of a younger one. This is a classic science-fiction plot, most memorably used in John Frankenheimer’s excellent SECONDS. (Which you should absolutely check out if you’ve never seen it.)
Speaking of plot, here it is:
In this provocative psychological science fiction thriller, an extremely wealthy man (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley) dying from cancer undergoes a radical medical procedure that transfers his consciousness into the body of a healthy young man (Ryan Reynolds). But all is not as it seems when he starts to uncover the mystery of the body’s origin and the organization that will kill to protect its cause.
Also starring Matthew Goode, Victor Garber and Natalie Martinez, SELF/LESS comes out in July.
