Giant 'bots get a new poster too
Essentially Skynet-on-Sea, the small-town setting for coming-of-age sci-fi Robot Overlords pinpoints the midpoint between The Terminator and Wish You Were Here. And yes, that place does exist. Here's a new clip to prove it, showcasing the film's organic and metallic protagonists in furious action.
Set in a world policed for three years by giant robots and under strict curfew, our heroes are a group of kids led by taciturn type Sean Flynn (The Great Gatsby’s Callan McAuliffe) who are mad as hell and aren’t going to take it anymore. It’s the work of Jon ‘Grabbers’ Wright and promises to tap into that fun, ‘80s spirit of Amblin films. “I woke up one morning having had a dream about being incarcerated in my house, with giant robots walking by in the street outside,” explains the director of its unusual genesis. “It gave birth to the notion of people being trapped in their houses. Nobody knows why the robots have done this, but that’s kind of what we find out over the course of the movie.”
The draconian robots are a clanking, by-now slightly rusting menace, keeping humankind cowed behind closed doors. Ben Kingsley’s sour-faced school teacher Mr. Smyth is one of those in the if-you-can’t-beat-‘em-join-‘em camp, weaselling his way into a position of power and looking suitably stern on the new poster.
