Shits getting crazy in the new red band trailer for Leigh Whannell’s science fiction bloodbath (and SXSW Audience Winner) Upgrade.
Showcasing a hyper violent version of the future, Upgrade centers on Grey Trace (Logan Marshall Green), a late adapter to the advances in technology whose wife is killed in a mugging that leaves him paralyzed. But he appears to get a new lease on life when a billionaire inventor approaches him to be part of a study that will “upgrade” his body and allow him to do things beyond anything imaginable.With vengeance on his mind, he undergoes the operation and heads out to find those responsible for his wife’s death.
The trailer, much like the film, is a non-stop thrill ride full of violent punches, bloody deaths and a killer car crash.Hold on to your seat, Upgrade is barreling into theaters on June 1.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
