March 14, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Coinciding with its premiere at SXSW this week, Flickering Myth’s Rafael Motamayor got the opportunity to sit down with writer-director Leigh Whannell (Saw, Insidious) and stars Betty Gabriel (Get Out) and Logan Marshall-Green (Damnation) to discuss their new film, the Blumhouse-produced sci-fi thriller Upgrade. Watch the interview in the video below, or check it out over on our YouTube channel…

“GREY TRACE, a technophobe in a utopian near-future when computers control nearly everything – from cars to crime-surveillance – is paralyzed in a freak mugging that leaves his wife dead. But when a billionaire technologist offers him an experimental paralysis cure – an implanted computer chip called STEM – Grey finds that the chip has a voice and a mind of its own. Together Grey and STEM embark on a mission to avenge his wife’s death.”

Upgrade is set for release on June 1st in the US and sees Leigh Whannel directing a cast that includes Logan Marshall-Green, Betty Gabriel, Harrison Gilbertson, and Benedict Hardie.
