Live in Dallas? We want you and a guest to see UPGRADE in advance for FREE this Wednesday, May 9th at Alamo Drafthouse Cedars (Downtown Dallas). And this couldn’t be easier, just PRINT A PASS BY CLICKING THIS LINK and get there early. Please note, a pass does NOT guarantee seating, which is first come first served. This is a very special screening too, as writer/director Leigh Whannell (who co-created SAW and INSIDIOUS) will be in attendance following the film for a special Q&A session hosted by yours truly. Don’t miss this! UPGRADE made a big splash at this years South by Southwest Film Festival, even winning the Midnighter Award, and I can tell you it’s absolutely worth the buzz. The movie stars Logan Marshall-Green as a man who witnesses his wife’s brutal murder and ends up paralyzed by the bad guys, then is offered a chance to try an untested cure that implements AI and heightened abilities. So naturally he and the new voice in his head decide to go after the men who hurt him, and the end result is crazy and intense.
UPGRADE is a thrilling and hyper violent vision of the future from the producers of GET OUT and THE PURGE, and the creator of SAW and INSIDIOUS.
After his wife is killed during a brutal mugging that also leaves him paralyzed, Grey Trace (Logan Marshall Green, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, PROMETHEUS) is approached by a billionaire inventor with an experimental cure that will “upgrade” his body. The cure – an Artificial Intelligence implant called STEM – gives Grey physical abilities beyond anything experienced and the ability to relentlessly claim vengeance against those who murdered his wife and left him for dead.
