EQUALS is a futuristic love story set in a world where emotions have been eradicated. Sounds familiar, but director Drake Doremus (LIKE CRAZY) looks to add his own visual aesthetics to the classic "forbidden love" story. Question: if you hire Kristen Stewart in a role where emotions are outlawed, are you typecasting? I jest, but you can check out the trailer below!
A24 Films has been killing it with their films lately, including EX MACHINA, A MOST VIOLENT YEAR and SLOW WEST, to name a few. While this idea isn't anything new, I'm a sucker for the THX/EQUILIBRIUM aesthetic. Nicholas Hoult has really come into his own these past couple of years, so I'm hoping he can help to sell the love story this movie aims to tell.
EQUALS aims to hit theaters on sometime this year.
