A24 announced today they would be handling domestic distribution of Alex Garland‘s feature directorial debut Ex Machina, a sci-fi thriller starring Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac and Alicia Vikander. Just above is the film’s first poster featuring Vikander with the second at the bottom of this post.
Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company’s brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test–charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated, seductive–and more deceptive–than the two men could have imagined.
Ex Machina hits theaters on April 10, 2015, return tomorrow morning for a first look at the film’s trailer.
