TRAILER: Johnny Depp Stars in Techno Thriller ‘Transcendence’
Johnny Depp stars as scientist Will Caster in the sci-fi thriller Transcendence. As the foremost researcher of artificial intelligence, Caster is the target of anti-technology extremists outraged by his controversial experiments, including an A.I. machine designed to combine all human knowledge with the full range of human emotions. After he is violently attacked by activists, Caster becomes the test rabbit in his own experiment as his intelligence is downloaded to a computer.

The all-star cast features Paul Bettany , Rebecca Hall, the iconic Morgan Freeman, and Kate Mara.
Accomplished cinematographer Wally Pfister, whose work includes such films as The Dark Knight Rises, makes his directorial debut with this project. The screenplay was written by Jack Paglen, who is currently at work on Prometheus 2.
