The story unfolds on a dying planet, where humanity has been pushed into a vast underground society run by the authoritarian Collective. At the center is Wesley, a worker who gets pulled into a hidden resistance and into a confrontation with Bryant, a brilliant, ruthless architect who uses surveillance, manipulation, and psychological<\/strong> terror to crush dissent after memories of the surface have been erased.<\/p>\n\n

The film also brings Hopkins and Woodward back together after Eyes In The Trees. Sean Ryan wrote the script, Natalie Burn and Volodymyr Artemenko are producing, and the plan is to shoot in Los Angeles. More casting is still underway, and there\u2019s no release date or full cast announced<\/strong> yet. Hopkins has called the screenplay \u201ccomplex and fascinating,\u201d pointing to its mix of creativity, compassion, and cruelty, and to a role he sees as intelligent, restrained, and frightening.<\/p>\n\n

For anyone drawn to original dystopian sci-fi, 2048 looks like one to watch. Buyers can find the film through Top Film Distribution Corporation at TIFF\u2019s market, where Hopkins\u2019 involvement should help it stand out fast, even with coverage<\/strong> still fairly limited outside North America and parts of Europe.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
