Movies - Crimes of the Future : Take a look on the new David Cronenberg’s movie

By Phillip Nakov, 26 april 2022

Crimes of the Future is an upcoming internationally co-produced body horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg. The film will premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where it will be in competition for the Palme d'Or. In February 2021, during a chat with GQ magazine, Viggo Mortensen revealed that he was working on a project with David Cronenberg, saying: "Yes, we do have something in mind. It's something he wrote a long time ago, and he never got it made. Now he's refined it, and he wants to shoot it. Hopefully, it'll be this summer we'll be filming. I would say, without giving the story away, he's going maybe a little bit back to his origins".  In April, Léa Seydoux and Kristen Stewart were among the cast announced for the film.  In August 2021, Tanaya Beatty, Yorgos Karamihos, Nadia Litz and Yorgos Pirpassopoulos joined the cast of the film. Principal photography began on August 2, 2021 and concluded on September 10, 2021, in Athens, Greece.

Synopsis : 
As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the human body is the object of new transformations and mutations. With the help of his partner Caprice, Saul Tenser, a famous performer, stages the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde shows. Timlin, an investigator for the National Organ Registry, is following their practices closely. But then a mysterious group appears: they want to take advantage of Saul's fame to reveal to the world the next step in human evolution...
