Transcendence is directed by Wally Pfister (cinematographer on Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy) and written by Jack Paglen, with rewrites by Alex Paraskevas & Jordan Goldberg. Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) 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. When anti-technology extremists threaten his life, they inadvertently trigger a quick move towards his transcendence, and Will’s thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The cast includes Morgan Freeman who narrated one of the earlier teasers, as well as Rebecca Hall, Kate Mara, Cillian Murphy, Cole Hauser and Paul Bettany. Warner Bros will be releasing Transcendence in theaters starting April 18th, 2014.
