 Most Anticipated movies of 2022

(a Compilation of 50 Films by Chris Bush)

Part I

50. The Lair

Director: Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers)  Cast: charlotte kirk, Jonathan Howard, Jamie Bamber, Tanji Kibong, Leon Ockenden, Mark Strepan, Hadi Khanjanpour, Troy Alexander, Harry Taurasi, Mark Arends, Alex Morgan, and Adam Bond.

The last decade of Neil Marshall's career has been a series of highs and lows.  After breaking into the mainstream by directing episodes for some of the most popular series in television- he directed two of the most well-received episodes of Game of Thrones ("Blackwater" and "The Watchers on the Wall"), as well a few on Hannibal, Westworld, and Lost in Space- it seemed the British director was all but ready to take on a big studio film with the same kind of budget and audience appeal of his television work.  That project would end up being the reboot of the comic book movie franchise, Hellboy, with David Harbour filling the shoes of Ron Perlman and Marshall following Guillermo Del Toro's much-adored two-movie act.  Suffice it to say, Marshall's Hellboy was laughably awful and a box office disaster, igniting a downward trajectory for the director that plummeted to a rock-bottom low with last year's, The Reckoning.  Obviously, I'm aware that "rock bottom" is probably not the best place in someone's career to be anticipating any future work from them, but I have a feeling Marshall will surprise us with a worthy comeback vehicle in his next feature, The Lair.  The director has described his upcoming film as a "full-on monster movie" that finds him returning to the "mood and intensity" of his earlier career-defining work, with echoes of classic action-horror films such as Aliens and Predator.  Set in Afghanistan, the story follows a Royal Air Force pilot who crashes behind enemy lines and accidentally awakens a dormant colony of deadly alien-human hybrids after seeking shelter in an abandoned bunker, inadvertently leading the horde back to her base following a narrow escape.  Dog Soldiers and The Descent are such spectacularly fun and scary monster-horror movies, and I'm so excited that Marshall is returning to what he does so well to deliver a new gore-splattered, visceral creature feature that's once again in the vein of his earlier films. 

RELEASE: TBA, but I'm guessing it will premiere at either Fantasia or Fantastic Fest during the latter half of this year.

49. untitled David O. Russell Movie

Director: David O. Russell (American Hustle, The Fighter)  Cast: Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Rami Malek, Zoe Saldana, Robert De Niro, Mike Myers, Timothy Olyphant, Michael shannon, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, Alessandro Nivola, and Taylor Swift.

David O. Russell's projects have always been able to attract an array of impressive talent, especially when it comes to assembling a stacked cast.  And why not?  He writes such meaty and attractive character roles they basically scream awards-bait right off the page.  That being said, the showiness of his stories and the characters that inhabit them can border on self-indulgent, and the artifice of his writing has always threatened to stifle the life out of any genuine human pathos or emotion his movies might have.  And his stubborn dedication to hammer down on that style of storytelling with an even greater emphasis on each subsequent project has become only more tiring and repetitive.  Perhaps that's why he hasn't made a new movie in the almost seven years since Joy was released (the 2015 dramedy about the "Miracle Mop" lady that nobody asked for) which finally saw the director's worn out tricks (and reliance on Jennifer Lawrence's star power to carry a scene) hit a creative dead end.  Which leaves us with the question: will the director come back beating that same familiar drum hoping we'll have forgotten its tune, or will he deliver something that shows us that his work has grown and evolved during his seven-year hiatus?  Personally, I'm hoping for the latter because (despite his flaws) I think David O. Russell is a very talented filmmaker and- contrary to some of the things I just wrote- I believe he has what it takes to move beyond those flaws.  Furthermore, it would be a terrible shame if the movie failed and let down the incredible and diverse cast of actors he's brought together for this project, so I am eagerly rooting for his success.  As for the plot of his upcoming film, much of that is still under wraps and remains a mystery, but what we do know is that it centers on a doctor and a lawyer who form un unlikely bond.

RELEASE: November 4th.

48. Don't Worry Darling

Director: Olivia Wilde (Booksmart)  Cast: Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Olivia Wilde, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, and Chris Pine.

If Olivia Wilde surprised people with her directing chops in her filmmaking debut a couple years back, it was nothing compared to the surprise people felt when they found out she would be following up the coming-of-age comedy antics of Booksmart with a psychological horror-thriller for her next film, Don't Worry Darling.  Florence Pugh and Harry Styles star as a 1950s couple who move to a (seemingly) utopian experimental commune that harbors dark and disturbing secrets beneath its glossy, manicured surface.  Definitely sounds like an allegorical critique of American suburbia (because we haven't seen that movie done over a dozen times before) that will probably stand somewhere between the comic campiness of The Stepford Wives and the surrealist nightmares of David Lynch (too high of a compliment this early?).  But who knows.  Perhaps screenwriters Katie Silberman and Cary and Shane Van Dyke (that's the daughter-in-law and grandson of legendary actor Dick Van Dyke) have a few tricks up their sleeve to give these ideas a fresh spin.  I like Olivia Wilde, having enjoyed Booksmart for what it was (even if what it was is perhaps overly familiar to a lot of other movies I've already seen), and I admire her gutsiness for taking on such a radical shift in genres for her upcoming sophomore feature.   However, I LOVE Florence Pugh and I think she's a really exciting actress, so her involvement in this film definitely makes it more attractive than some of the other parts surrounding her in this, and there's also some really incredible supporting players here as well (such as If Beale Street Could Talk's KiKi Layne and Big Mouth comedian, Nick Kroll).  

RELEASE: September 23rd.

47. Flux Gourmet

Director: Peter Strickland (In Fabric, The Duke of Burgundy)  Cast: asa Butterfield, Gwendoline Christie, Ariane Labed, Richard Bremmer, Leo Bill, Fatma Mohamed, and Makis Papadimitriou.

Peter Strickland may be a director that many might refer to as an "acquired taste," but if you can get on his strange and intoxicating wavelength where surrealism, fantasy, and dry satire gorgeously intersect (which I'm happy to say that I am), it's a taste that is truly delicious.  Speaking of "taste,' that word has a little something to do with the director's next feature, which takes place at an institute devoted to culinary and alimentary performance where a collective suddenly find themselves embroiled in power struggles, artistic vendettas, and gastrointestinal disorders (brilliant. absolutely love this premise.)  It almost sounds like a darker, more adult cousin to Ratatouille, and yet Strickland has insisted that the story's portrayal of food allergies and eating disorders is anything but comical (at least, not in the cheap, gag-worthy way that so many films have done in the past, especially rom-coms.)  I'm taking this to mean that his approach will be very dramatic and dead serious (but sensitive), and whatever laughs there are will be as dry and as black as a chalkboard.  This is good news, because I would honestly have it no other way.  Sex Education's Asa Butterfield and Game of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie are welcome additions to this grand guignol.  Bon appétit.

RELEASE: Set to premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in February.  Theatrical release is still TBA.

46. Everything Everywhere All At Once

Directors: Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (aka "Daniels") (Swiss Army Man)  Cast: Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, James Hong, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., Andy Le, and Brian Le.

Thanks to the superhero films from the likes Marvel and DC, the "multiverse" concept is all the rage right now.  And while those studios have used the idea as more of a ploy to cultivate an endless, never-ending stream of IP and potential storylines that represents the most lazy, greedy, and exploitative aspects of movie studio capitalism and formulism, it seems the creative talents of A24 and the directing duo "Daniels" thought it was time to give audiences the multiverse movie they deserve.  Aided by the spectacular star power of Michelle Yeoh, Everything Everywhere All At Once finds the veteran actress playing a Chinese immigrant who is thrusted into an interdimensional adventure where the fate of the world rests on her ability to connect with all the possible lives she could have led, and all the versions of herself left unexplored.  To top it all off, the film is also bolstered by the talents of producers Anthony and Joe Russo, who have shot to international fame for their work within the MCU (which includes directing Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, as well as Captain America: Winter Soldier and Civil War.)  I may not have been the biggest fan of Swiss Army Man (the first feature film to come from the directorial collaboration of "Daniels"), but all of this sounds flippin' amazing and so promising and I honestly can't wait!

RELEASE: The movie was recently announced as the opening film of the SXSW Film Festival before hitting theaters on March 25th. 

45. Apollo 10½

Director: Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Waking Life)  Cast: Glen Powell, Jack Black, Zachary Levi, Josh Wiggins, Samuel Davis, Avery Joy Davis, Milo Coy, Lee eddy, Bill Wise, Natalie l'Amoreaux, Jessica Brynn Cohen, Sam Chipman, and Danielle Guilbot.

Few directors have poignantly channeled in their work the empathy of seeing the world through a child's eyes and capturing the authentic essence of childhood in all its wonder, confusion, and heartbreak like Richard Linklater.  I'm speaking of course of the director's 2014 minor masterpiece, Boyhood, which is still resonating in the collective consciousness of many viewers nearly eight years later; but truthfully, all of Linklater's filmography is alive with feelings and sensitivity.  Naturally, these qualities make the subject of the director's next feature a match made in heaven (or rather, the stars), which relays the events of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing through two interweaving perspectives: the children back on Earth watching the phenomenon unfold from below, and the astronauts and mission control who are right in the center of it all.  To help tell this deeply personal story that takes place in the director's childhood hometown of Houston, Texas, Linklater incorporated the use of cutting edge rotoscoping technology- an animation technique he's used to brilliant, tremendous effect in past films Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly.  Keep your eyes on this one.  I have a feeling it could be something really special once it's unveiled.

RELEASE: April 1st.

44. X

Director: Ti West (The Innkeepers, The House of the Devil)  Cast: Mia Goth, Kid Cudi, Jenna ortega, Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, Owen Campbell, and Stephen Ure.

It's been a hot minute since we had a new film from Ti West, the indie filmmaker who was regarded as one of the most promising new voices in the horror genre a decade ago following the one-two punch of The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers.  He's kept himself busy mostly directing episodes for hit horror series such as Scream, Wayward Pines, The Exorcist, and most recently Them, but it's been almost six years since his last film, In the Valley of Violence, which saw the director flexing his genre versatility with a bloody revenge western laced with sporadic dark humor and dramatic pathos.  Teaming with A24, the director's next film promises to be a return to his indie horror roots, which explores the world of the adult film industry.  The story is set at a rural Texas farmhouse, where a film crew shooting a piece of adult entertainment  become the object of fascination and voyeurism for the property's reclusive owner couple, whose interest in the group quickly takes a disturbing and sinister turn.  Last year, the film's star Jenna Ortega teased the project as something "outrageous," and the fact that A24 rarely missteps at greenlighting exciting and original genre projects should reassure horror fans of its potential.

RELEASE: March 18th. 

43. The Sky is Everywhere

Director: Josephine Decker (Madeline's Madeline, Shirley)  cast: Grace Kaufman, Jason Segel, Cherry Jones, Jacques Colimon, Pico Alexander, Tyler Lofton, and ji-young Yoo.

In an industry that is still sorely lacking representation of female talent behind the screen, especially in the field of directors, it's so refreshing and reassuring to see incredible filmmakers like Josephine Decker directing some of the best films of the year every time they unveil a new project.  Her filmography is smart, confident, and so unapologetically defies the norms of mainstream entertainment.  In other words, she is a true artist as well as an excitingly original talent.  The fact that she's chosen to adapt a YA novel for her next film doesn't exactly (if I'm being completely honest) excite me.  These types of films are so pandering and so specifically engineered to appeal to such a narrow audience (and they make so many of them every year too), however, I trust Decker's creative instincts enough to know that she's probably got some exciting ideas to transform the conventions of this genre that could redefine what these movies are capable of being.  It also doesn't hurt that if she was going to adapt a YA novel for her next film, she could do a whole lot worse than Jandy Nelson's acclaimed best-seller.  Nelson's book centers on a teenage musician struggling to cope with her sister's death while balancing her relationships between two different love interests (one of whom happens to be her dead sister's former boyfriend), and the novel's handling of themes such as nature, love, death, and the transformative, healing power of music should prove to be very exciting in Decker's hands.  Her last two films (Madeline's Madeline and Shirley) brilliantly demonstrated  her ability to explore woman using various means of expression to cope with their trauma while navigating the confines of a fractured psyche, so I'm confident the results here will be just as subversive and thought-provoking.

RELEASE: February 11th.

42. Havoc

Director: Gareth Evans (The Raid and The Raid 2, Apostle)  Cast: Tom Hardy, Forest Whitaker, Timothy Olyphant, Justin Cornwell, Jessie Mei Li, Yeo Yann Yann, Quelin Sepulveda, Luis Guzmán, Sunny pang, Michelle Waterson, and Tom Wu.

Few filmmakers have elevated the action genre in the last 10 years like Gareth Evans.  The Welsh breakout is renowned for bringing the Indonesian martial art of pencak silat into world cinema through his films, which have enthralled audiences around the globe with their exhilaratingly brutal and gory violence and breakneck choreography.  After flexing his genre versatility in horror several years ago with Apostle, the director is back with a new action-thriller starring acting heavyweight Tom Hardy in the lead role.  Hardy will play a detective who must navigate a dangerous criminal underworld to rescue a politician's estranged son following a drug deal gone awry.  His journey through the dark underbelly of his city will force him to confront and untangle a twisted web of conspiracy and corruption, if it doesn't swallow him up in the process first.  This sounds like an absolutely insane and wild ride, and I'm loving everything about it so far!   

RELEASE: TBA.  Will probably premiere at TIFF before debuting on Netflix in the fall. 

41. Hypnotic

Director: Robert Rodriguez (Sin City, From Dusk Till Dawn)  Cast: Ben Affleck, Alice Braga, Hala Finley, Dayo Okeniyi, William Fichtner, and JD Pardo.

I may not love everything in his filmography (I was quite disappointed with his last movie, Alita: Battle Angel, despite whatever cult following it's managed to attain in the three years since it was released), but there is so denying that Robert Rodriguez is a very innovative and visionary filmmaker whose work is absolutely worthy of following.  And whatever project he chooses to tackle, it's always been evidently plain that it's something he's genuinely excited about making and has a deeply personal connection to.  That level of enthusiasm is certainly not absent from his upcoming film, Hypnotic- a passion project that he started writing back in 2002 and as been patiently sitting on and developing ever since.  The final draft was written by Rodriguez and Kong: Skull Island scribe Max Borenstein, and centers on a detective who gets mixed up in a secret government program while searching for his missing daughter and investigating a string of impossible high-end heists.  Rodriguez has described the sci-fi action-thriller as a "Hitchcock thriller on steroids" that's filled with fun and surprising twists and turns.  It's quite a bold selling point and yet somehow, I actually believe him....mostly. 

RELEASE: TBA.  I'm suspecting a premiere at Fantastic Fest (which takes place in his home state of Texas) before it hits theaters sometime in the fall.

40. Pinocchio

Director: Guillermo Del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, The Devil's Backbone) with co-director Mark Gustafson (The PJs) Cast: Gregory Mann, Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Ron Perlman, Tilda Swinton, Christoph Waltz, Cate Blanchett, Tim Blake Nelson, Finn Wolfhard, John Turturro, and Burn Gorman.

Like Robert Rodriguez, Guillermo Del Toro is another visionary auteur whose imagination and personal connection to whatever it is he's making always does a great deal of heavy lifting in his work.  It may not always entirely make up for the parts that are lacking, but his passion sure goes a long way.  And there is nothing that Guillermo Del Toro has been more passionate about than Carlo Collodi's classic fairy tale, The Adventures of Pinocchio.  The director has cited Collodi's timeless work as the most personal story and character to have influenced his career, furthermore stating that animation as a form of storytelling was what inspired him to be a filmmaker.  In 2011, Del Toro signed on to produce a stop-motion animated take on the classic story alongside Pathé and The Jim Henson Company, based on a script he had written with Matthew Robbins and Gris Grimly.  The following year, it was announced that ShadowMachine would be in charge of all the stop-motion puppet wizardry.  But during a 2017 interview at the Venice Film Festival with IndieWire, Del Toro revealed that the project had entered a stage of development hell due to difficulty securing the necessary budget funds, which needed to be at least $35 million or it would face cancellation.  Thankfully, it wasn't long after that that Netflix swooped in to save the film, resurrecting the project into full production and finally fulfilling Del Toro's long-gestating dream of seeing it come to life.  With the movie nearly complete, it looks as though Del Toro's passion project will soon be unveiled for all to see, and based on some recent interviews, it sounds like it's going to be something very special.  The backdrops of Del Toro's films have always been just as pivotal to the stories as the character's that drive them.  Whether it's the Spanish Civil War (The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth) or Cold War-era America (The Shape of Water), the subtext of his films' settings always tie into the themes of the stories, and Pinocchio is said to be no different.  Del Toro and Ron Perlman have both recently revealed in interviews that this Pinocchio will take place in a fascist Italy during the rise of Mussolini, exploring what it truly means to be a human vs a puppet on strings (brilliant.)  While only just meeting the standards of what might be "family-friendly," the director has described his take on the fairytale as still being a very dark and brutalist vision that retains the unsanitized spirit of its source material.  There's been so many reiterations of this story that are far too many to count (Matteo Garrone's live-action Italian-language version was only released a year ago, and Disney's live-action remake of their animated masterpiece recently wrapped filming and is set to be released soon), but Del Toro's vision has so many tasty ingredients (interesting themes, stop-motion animation, a star-studded voice cast, a score by Alexandre Desplat) that I'm confident it will be much more than just a polished piece of wood.

RELEASE: Netflix has set a December release, but I'm predicting it will premiere at the Venice Film Festival first.

39. Peter Pan & Wendy

Director: David Lowery (The Green Knight, Pete's Dragon)  Cast: Alexander Malony, Ever Anderson, Joshua Pickering, Jacobi Jupe, Yara Shahidi, Jude Law, Jim Gaffigan, Noah Matthews Matofsky, Sebastian Billingsley-Rodriguez, Skyler and Kelsey Yates, Florence Bensberg, Caelan Edie, Diana Tsoy, Felix de Sousa, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, with alan Tudyk and Molly Parker.

Like Pinocchio, Peter Pan is another fairy tale that seems like it's been adapted for the screen as often as we get a new update of smart phone.  The only difference is, I don't think there's ever been a truly fantastic take of J.M. Barrie's classic story (the most iconic and beloved probably being Disney's 1953 animated film, harmful racist stereotypes aside of course.)  If there's anyone who could give the material a fresh sprinkling of pixie dust though, David Lowery would definitely be the auteur to do it.  Lowery has repeatedly demonstrated a keen eye for magical realism and poetic lyricism (most recently with his phenomenal rendering of The Green Knight), and his previous experience working with Disney on Pete's Dragon has me confident that the director is much more interested in making an actual film instead of indulging the studio's corporate branding and marketability demands.  Without these qualities, I doubt yet another adaptation of Peter Pan would be able to soar into the stratosphere, let alone make it off the ground.  Furthermore, it doesn't hurt that Lowery has a strong personal connection to the material as well.  When I met Lowery at the 2017 Seattle International Film Festival and asked him about the project (which at the time was still in the very early stages of development), the filmmaker told me that it was a project that was very close to his heart and there was so much pressure to get every detail just right.  Almost five years later, it's clear that his attention to those details were indeed no exaggeration, and last year the director opened up in an interview about the upcoming project with some very encouraging words.  Not only is he calling it his most adult (mature) film to date, it's also apparently his favorite and most personal that he's made too (something he would not have expected prior to entering production.)  "I went into it thinking that my entryway into this movie was that I've got a classic case of Peter Pan syndrome.  I don't want to grow up.  Who does?  And I thought that was what was going to appeal to me about it, but in making it, in writing it, and now directing it and seeing it come to life, I've realized that this is a movie about me letting go of that.  Whether that's good or bad, I haven't processed yet, but it's the first movie I've made from an adult perspective, if that makes any sense."  Makes perfect sense to me, and I cannot wait to finally see what he's made for us.

RELEASE: TBA.  It's a lot harder for me predict when Disney unveils its films, since their release strategies continue to surprise me.  But wouldn't it be something if they debuted it at Cannes like they did Spielberg's The BFG!

38. Infinity Pool

Director: Brandon Cronenberg (Possessor, Antiviral)  Cast: Alexander Skarsgård, Cleopatra Coleman, Mia Goth, Thomas Kretschmann, Amanda Brugel, Caroline Boulton, John Ralston, Roderick Hill, and Jeff Ricketts.

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and in the case of Brandon Cronenberg that just may be accurate.  The son of legendary auteur David Cronenberg, Brandon has already begun to carve out a distinct name for himself, one that honors the sci-fi body-horror tropes established by his father's work while still standing out for his own unique aesthetic and vision.  His next film is backed by Neon, the indie studio that's been on a winning streak the past couple years ever since Parasite miraculously (and rightfully) picked up the Oscar for Best Picture, and who have continued to put a spotlight on auteur-driven entertainment.  Infinity Pool stars Alexander Skarsgård and Cleopatra Coleman as a couple who get invited to an all-inclusive romantic beach getaway on the fictional island of La Tolqa, where a fatal accident exposes the resort's perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism, reckless violence and surreal horrors.  Sign me up!

RELEASE: TBA, but I'm guessing it will premiere at Cannes or Venice before getting released sometime in the last quarter of the year.

37. True Love

Director: Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Rogue One: A star Wars Story)  Cast: John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Allison Janney, Marc Menchaca, Ralph Ineson, Amar Chadha-Patel, and Sturgill Simpson.

Thanks to his work on major blockbusters such as 2014's Godzilla and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (but mostly Star Wars), Gareth Edwards has become a household name in the movie world (especially in fanboy circles.)  However, I've been following him since his 2010 debut, Monsters, an impressive low-budget sci-fi film that put him on the map as a talented filmmaker to watch.  It's been over five years since Edwards' last film, and I've been wondering for some time now when we'd be getting something new from him, and if it would be a departure from the IP blockbusters in favor of another original work.  Apparently, he was wondering what his next project would be as well, and for many months the director weighed between several scripts he had been developing, wanting to make sure he settled on the right one before finally committing.  We now know that project is an original sci-fi story called True Love led by John David Washington, but good luck finding out any of the plot details.  Everyone involved is keeping that information very tight-lipped for the present, other than divulging how excited they are for the project.  In an interview with Collider, Washington called the upcoming film something unique and special, and on the first day of filming, cinematographer Greig Fraser (whose most recent work includes Dune and the upcoming The Batman) excitedly took to Instagram to gush about the "incredible" project.  This one would probably rank a little higher if I knew for certain it was coming out this year, but I really like Gareth Edwards and I've been following this project very closely since it was first announced last year. 

RELEASE: TBA.  Filming began in Vietnam on January 17th, so it's still unclear if it's even coming out this year.  But since cinematographer Greig Fraser is set to begin shooting the second half of Dune halfway through the year, I'm assuming he'll have finished his work on True Love before then.  So fingers crossed.

36. Something In The Dirt

Directors: Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (The Endless, Synchronic)  Cast:  Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead, Sarah Adina Smith, Wanjiru M. Njendu, Issa Lopez, Jeremy Harlin, Gille Klabin, Liam Gavin, Megan Rosati, and Vinny Curan.

Genre benders Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (who go by Benson and Moorhead in the directing credits of their films) have carved out a reputable name for themselves in the indie film circuit, emerging as one of the most singular and original voices in cinema to have come out in the last decade.  Their next movie, which will mark the first from indie production company XYZ to be self-distributed under their label, stars the directors (known for acting in their own work) as two neighboring friends who decide to start documenting the supernatural events occurring in their Los Angeles apartment building in hopes of injecting some fame and fortune into their wasted lives.  An ever-deeper, darker rabbit hole, their friendship frays as they uncover the dangers of the phenomenon, the city they live in, and each other.  I loved The Endless, and despite some shortcomings and the loud and disruptive drunk that annoyed our audience in the theater (which by the way, if he's reading this: fuck you again), I really appreciated the ambition of Synchronic.  Benson and Moorhead always deliver something unexpected and this sounds just as fascinating and ambitious as anything they've done.

RELEASE: Premieres at Sundance.  Theatrical release TBA.
