A trailer and images have been released for director Paul Hyett’s (The Seasoning House, Peripheral) new sci-fi horror Peripheral which stars Hannah Arterton (Safe) as Bobbi, a literary sensation struggling to write her second novel who realises that the new smart editing software she’s using is manipulating her work to suit its own nefarious ends; take a look here…
Bobbi Johnson (Hannah Arterton – Safe) is a young literary sensation facing her difficult second novel. Already dealing with a crazed stalker and her junkie ex-boyfriend, Bobbi is convinced by her publisher to use new smart editing software and finds herself going head-to-head with an artificial intelligence determined to write her book for her. As the machine manipulates her work to suit its own nefarious ends, Bobbi begins to realise that she is being controlled in ways far more sinister than she suspected. She may, in fact, be a pawn in a conspiracy of social mind control. Too far down the rabbit hole to turn back, Bobbi must keep writing, fighting her own addictions and hallucinations as she rushes to beat her deadline without selling her soul in the process.
Peripheral is set for a digital release on August 3rd and features a cast that also includes Jenny Seagrove, Tom Conti, Rosie Day, and Elliot James Langridge.
