From director Peter Webber (Hannibal Rising, Girl with a Pearl Earring), watch the trailer for DRAGN — an acronym for Defense Reaction and Ground Neutralization.
The sci-fi horror thriller releases on Digital March 17 via Cineverse before streaming on the Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox later in the year.
It centers on a group of co-workers on a routine corporate team-building trip, which transforms into a nightmare when they unwittingly become the prey of a rogue AI-driven drone.
Written by Barry Hutchison and Alexander Gordon Smith, the film delves into the fragility of the human mind, the dangers of AI warfare, and the indomitable spirit required to confront terror in an increasingly digital world.
James Paxton (Twisters), Lilly Krug (Plane), Carlos Bardem (Assassin’s Creed), Alice Pagani (“Baby”), Jadran Malkovich (“The Ark”), Franz Drameh (Attack the Block), and Alex Lane star.
“I’m fascinated by the way that drones have completely changed warfare and the creeping machinization of everyday life,” says Webber. “Machine logic is very clean, but the human consequences are muddy, panicked, bloody and violent.”
Lane, Oleg Shardin, and Georgia Witkin produce. Executive producers include Kirk D’Amico, Sandy Climan, Michael Tadross, Barry Hutchison, Alexander Gordon Smith, Joachim Laqueur, Igor Shardin, Vasiliy Lantsov, Carolin Springborn, and Aleksandr Alpern.
