After releasing a series of teasers this week [see here, here and here], Warner Bros. Pictures has now dropped the first full trailer for Transcendence, the upcoming directorial debut of Oscar-winning cinematographer and regular Christopher Nolan collaborator Wally Pfister, and you can check it out right here after the official synopsis...Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp; The Lone Ranger) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him.
However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall; Iron Man 3) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany; Iron Man 3), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can...but if they should.
Their worst fears are realized as Will's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.
Transcendence opens on April 17th, 2014 with a cast that also includes Morgan Freeman (The Dark Knight Rises), Clifton Collins Jr. (Star Trek) and Cole Hauser (A Good Day to Die Hard).
