Paul Hyett, who directed The Seasoning House, Howl and the festival horror Heretiks, is taking on the sci-fi genre with Peripheral, which stars Hannah Arterton and reteams him with The Seasoning House‘s Rosie Day.
In the film, “Bobbi Johnson (Arterton) is a young literary sensation facing her difficult second novel. Already dealing with a crazed stalker and her junkie ex-boyfriend, Bobbi is convinced by her publisher to use new smart editing software and finds herself going head-to-head with an artificial intelligence determined to write her book for her. As the machine manipulates her work to suit its own nefarious ends, Bobbi begins to realize that she is being controlled in ways far more sinister than she suspected. She may, in fact, be a pawn in a conspiracy of social mind control. Too far down the rabbit hole to turn back, Bobbi must keep writing, fighting her own addictions and hallucinations as she rushes to beat her deadline without selling her soul in the process”
Peripheral is set to be digitally released in the UK courtesy of Blue Finch Films on August 3, 2020. The “sinister and unsettling sci-fi horror fantasy” will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Google, Sky and Virgin.
Here’s the brand new trailer.
