Crimes of the Future Trailer

As promised, the Crimes of the Future full official trailer has been debuted by distributor NEON this afternoon, ahead of the film’s theatrical release in less than one month.

David Cronenberg returns to his body-horror roots with new movie Crimes of the Future, in theaters everywhere on June 3rd.

Watch the Crimes of the Future trailer below, which presents a visionary blend of science fiction and body horror that can only be described as “Pure David Cronenberg.”

In the film, “As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner, Caprice (Léa Seydoux), Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), a celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances.

“Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed… Their mission – to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.”

Crimes of the Future is a meditation on human evolution… the ways in which we have had to take control of the process because we have created such powerful environments that did not exist previously,” said Cronenberg. “[It’s] an evolution of things I have done before. Fans will see key references to other scenes and moments from my other films. That’s a continuity of my understanding of technology as connected to the human body. Technology is always an extension of the human body, even when it seems to be very mechanical and non-human.”

The film’s cast also includes Scott Speedman, Welket Bungué, Don McKellarLihi KornowskiTanaya Beatty, Nadia Litz, Yorgos Karamichos, and Yorgos Pirpassopoulos.
