‘Hot Spot’ Trailer – Noomi Rapace Stars as a Cyber Witch in Dystopian Sci-Fi Thriller From ‘The Lure’ Director
A cyber witch gets embroiled in a murder mystery in the wild new trailer for Hot Spot.
From The Lure director Agnieszka Smoczyńska, the dystopian sci-fi thriller will be released in North American theaters on August 21 via Focus Features.
The genre-bending film is set in “a near future society ruled by sentient AI, where a private eye investigates a murder case, only to discover a rebel group capable of undermining the digital overlord.”
Andrzej Konopka (The Lure), Noomi Rapace (Prometheus), and Reika Kirishima (Drive My Car) star.
Robert Bolesto (The Lure) wrote the screenplay.
“To me, ‘Hot Spot’ is a story where the main feeling is fear, just like in a horror movie. And in today’s world,” Bolesto previously told Variety. Smoczyńska describes the new project as a “personal blend of horror, science fiction and anti-detective story,” signaling another unique genre-bender from the filmmaker.
The project was developed with the support of The Sundance Institute, which presented Smoczyńska with its 2017 Global Filmmaking Award.
Producers include Klaudia Smieja-Rostworowska at Poland’s Madants, who produced Claire Denis’ High Life and Agnieszka Holland’s Mr Jones, alongside Before Midnight producer Christos V. Konstantakopoulos at Greek production outfit Faliro House.
Hot Spot will open against Insidious: Out of the Further.
Also on the way from Focus Features is Robert Eggers’ Werwulf on December 25.
