“Humans have always deceived us.” GKids has finally revealed the full US trailer for the awesome animated sci-fi film Mars Express from France. It’s now set to open in theaters this May – check your local listings. A must watch on the big screen! I’ve been raving about this film ever since its world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival last year – thrilling sci-fi that is kind of an update on Ghost in the Shell. In the future, private detective Aline Ruby and her android partner are hired by a wealthy businessman to track down a notorious hacker. On Mars, they descend deep into the underbelly of the planet’s capital city where they uncover a much darker story of brain farms, corruption, and a missing girl who holds a secret about the robots that threaten to change the face of the universe. “Combining 2D & 3D animation, this stylish, smart, futuristic film noir is an adrenaline-fueled, cinematic adventure, packed with humor and exhilarating action sequences.” With the voices of Léa Drucker, Mathieu Amalric, Daniel Njo Lobé, Marie Bouvet, and Sébastien Chassagne. This film rocks (my full review) and I’m happy to support it all the way through its opening. It’s pretty much the same trailer as last year, but worth sharing to bring more attention to the film.

Here’s the main official US trailer (+ poster) for Jérémie Périn’s Mars Express, from GKids’ YouTube:
