Dan Stevens is low-key becoming one my favorite, most reliable actors. I know whatever he'll be in, he'll be entertaining, whether it's in THE GUEST, LEGION, or even his take on Beast in the recent live-action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (whatever you felt about the film itself). So, while I haven't heard of the new sci-fi action film KILL SWITCH from director Tim Smit until now, the fact that it stars Stevens means I'll at least give it a chance.
So, without further ado, here's the trailer for the sci-fi actioner:
And here's the official synopsis:
Acclaimed writer-director Tim Smit explodes on to the scene with his futuristic, VFX-heavy feature debut! KILL SWITCH charts the story of a pilot battling to save his family and the planet, based on Smit’s short What’s In The Box?
Set in a future version of the world, the video game style plot follows an experiment for unlimited energy, harnessing parallel universes, which goes wrong. Chased by drones and soldiers, pilot and physicist Will Porter must race through an imploding world to get the Redivider box to a tower, which will save humanity, including his family, in the real world.
I mean, it looks polished, and seems like it could be entertaining. It's kind of hard to tell, since there's no real dialogue or any real indication of the story in the trailer itself. But again, if Dan-the Man is down, I'm down.
Meanwhile, KILL SWITCH will be available on Ultra VOD May 19th, and in select theaters and On Demand June 16th.
