This past week, the first trailer for science fiction thriller Hot Spot was released. Directed by Agnieszka Smoczynska, from a script by Robert Bolesto, it is set towards the end of the 21st century, in a world controlled by an artificial intelligence. Andrzej Konopka stars as investigator Djonny, who in the course of investigating a murder comes into contact with maybe a cyber witch, maybe just a witch, in the form of Noomi Rapace’s Rana. Once brought together, will they disrupt the system ruled over by the sentient A.I.?

The trailer is a fantastic introduction to the movie. Visually distinct, the aesthetic appears to be a mixture of future tech, earthy locations, and with an almost retro futurism look to some of the technology. Outlandish styles are on display, and the synth score to the trailer is awesome. The movie looks brutal, bloody, and bonkers, and we can’t wait to see more.

Hot Spot is distributed by Focus Features, and releases in North America on August 21st.
