Yesterday, we posted a few photos from Luke Scott’s upcoming sci-fi thriller Morgan, which was produced by his father Ridley Scott (Prometheus, Blade Runner). Today, a teaser trailer has been released and it’s gotten me incredibly excited for this movie!
The trailer makes use of empty hallway shots, many of which are eerily reminiscent of the hallways in the Nostromo in Alien. There is also this deeply unsettling offkey lullaby that hovers over the cold, stark visuals and everything adds to a sense of dread and terror. I know that most trailers these days give away pretty much everything but this does the exact opposite. It tells me just enough to make me want to know more and nothing else. I’m 100% hooked.
In Morgan:
“A corporate troubleshooter (Kate Mara) is sent to a remote, top-secret location, where she is to investigate and evaluate a terrifying accident. She learns the event was triggered by a seemingly innocent “human,” who presents a mystery of both infinite promise and incalculable danger.”
Luke Scott tells EW, “What ‘Morgan’ really alludes to is human beings becoming, in a sense, the creator. Not in a traditional religious sense, but an idea that we have the capabilities to become our own creator. And what I suspect could happen — we’ve seen it in all these movies, whether it’s Frankenstein or Metropolis — it’s the creation of a being that is greater than the creator.”
Morgan stars Kate Mara (“American Horror Story”), Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch), Rose Leslie, Boyd Holbrook, and Paul Giamatti. Ridley Scott, Michael Schaefer, and Mark Huffam will all be acting as producers.
