“Select who you want to be, and where, and the rest is magic.” Republic Pics via Paramount has revealed the official trailer for an indie sci-fi thriller called Utopia, directed by James Bamford. Another extremely generic title for a film that tells you absolutely nothing about it. The thriller film follows a soldier searching for his missing wife. During his search he breaks into a high-tech facility, believing she’s been caught in a trafficking ring. But beyond its walls, he finds a surreal, futuristic fantasy park where reality & illusion blur. As he navigates this seductive and dangerous world, a shocking truth pulls him deeper into a deadly game where nothing is as it seems. Moe Dunford and Charlotte Vega star in this action packed thriller along with Daniel Bernhardt, Michael D. Xavier, Jason Flemyng, Alix Villaret, Wanda Banda, Maddy Ambus, and Jade Coatsworth. This looks like a big Westworld rip-off, with a very similar virtual world concept and nefarious executives. As boring as they come – skip this & don’t waste any time or money on it.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for James Bamford’s sci-fi film Utopia, direct from YouTube:
A soldier (Moe Dunford) searching for his missing wife breaks into a high-tech facility, believing she’s been caught in a human trafficking ring.
