We recently brought you the trailer for THE CELL director Tarsem Singh's upcoming sci-fi thriller SELF/LESS, which stars Ben Kingsley and Ryan Reynolds and takes place in a near-future where an old body can be discarded in favor of a younger one. Now The Wrap is reporting that Focus Features has shifted the films release, bumping it up three weeks earlier to July 10.

Here's the synopsis of the flick:

In this provocative psychological science fiction thriller, an extremely wealthy man (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley) dying from cancer undergoes a radical medical procedure that transfers his consciousness into the body of a healthy young man (Ryan Reynolds).
