TRANSCENDENCE Trailer Starring Johnny Depp

A few days ago we saw the first teaser for Wally Pfister‘s directorial debut Transcendence, and now a full length trailer has been released.  The film stars Johnny Depp as a scientist who, after being shot with a radioactive bullet, gets his consciousness entered into a computer.  Although that plot sounds slightly ridiculous, this looks like a pretty entertaining sci-fi flick.  The film also stars Cillian Murphy, Rebecca Hall, Morgan Freeman, Kate Mara, and Paul Bettany.

Transcendence hits theaters April 18, 2014, hit the jump to check out the trailer and synopsis.

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can…but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will’s thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.
