The first trailer for Equals, a science-fiction story that pairs Nicholas Hoult and Kristen Stewart, was released today.
Equals was written by Nathan Parker (Moon) and directed by Drake Doremus (Like Crazy, Breathe In). It is set in a future world where everyone needs to conform without emotions. However, Hoult and Stewart’s characters fall in love. Yeah, that sounds like every other sci-fi romance, but the teaser makes an effort to show how different this movie will be from others like it.
The cast for the film also includes Guy Pearce, Jacki Weaver and The Diary of a Teenage Girl’s Bel Powley.
Equals played at the Toronto and Venice festivals last fall and was picked up by A24 and DirecTV. A U.S. release date has not been set yet.
