Apple has revealed the trailer for Rubber, a film directed by Quentin Dupieux that takes place in the California desert and centers on the adventures of a telepathic killer tire named Robert. The film’s synopsis describes Rubber as a “tribute to the cinematic concept of no reason” and I have to admit I can’t wait to see it.
RUBBER is the story of Robert, an inanimate tire that has been abandoned in the desert, and suddenly and inexplicably comes to life. As Robert roams the bleak landscape, he discovers that he possesses terrifying telepathic powers that give him the ability to destroy anything he wishes without having to move. At first content to prey on small desert creatures and various discarded objects, his attention soon turns to humans, especially a beautiful and mysterious woman who crosses his path. Leaving a swath of destruction across the desert landscape, Robert becomes a chaotic force to be reckoned with, and truly a movie villain for the ages. Directed by legendary electro musician Quentin Dupieux (Steak, Nonfilm), aka Mr. Oizo, RUBBER is a smart, funny and wholly original tribute to the cinematic concept of no reason.
Rubber is set to hit theaters on April 1 from Magnet and will be available on demand on February 25. Check out the trailer directly below.
