Transcendence poster reveals a pixilated Johnny Depp
Wally Pfister’s upcoming directorial debut Transcendence has
garnered more attention than your average every day first film. It probably has
something to do with the fact that he served as cinematographer on a ridiculous
number of fantastic, and successful, movies, including almost everything
Christopher Nolan has done. Credentials like that also don’t hurt at all when
you start casting your movie, and Pfister has put together a doozy of a call
sheet. Johnny Depp takes the lead, and also happens to be the primary focus of
this new poster for the upcoming sci-fi mind-bender.
You get real up close and personal with Depp’s face here—be
glad they Photoshopped out his nose hair—as the image of his grill starts out
heavily pixilated on one side, only to come into focus as your eyes drift right
across the photo. Superimposed over the top is the phrase, “Yesterday Dr. Will
Caster Was Only Human.” What do these both mean? Well I’m glad you asked
You get the point this poster is going for: in his new
environs, Caster sharpens his vision and comes into focus. As what is
essentially a sentient machine, he also transcends his simple, fragile,
mammalian biology, and become something so much more. Sounds like the anti-tech
faction kick started exactly they didn’t want. From what we know, Transcendence
is going to be our favorite type of science fiction, the kind that combines
big, topical ideas that have far reaching impacts, with lots of kick ass
action.
Transcendence also stars Morgan Freeman, Kate Mara, Cillian
Murphy, and Clifton Collins Jr., and opens in cinemas everywhere April 18.
