A24 Releases New Trailer For EX MACHINA – Stars Alicia Vikander, Domhnall Gleeson & Oscar Isaac

Check out the first official US trailer for director Alex Garland’s EX MACHINA, starring Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, and Alicia Vikander.

The Guardian‘s Mark Kermode writes, “Alex Garland’s directorial debut is full of confidence and wit, with Alicia Vikander blurring the lines between human and machine.”

Alex Garland, writer of 28 DAYS LATER and SUNSHINE, makes his directorial debut with the stylish and cerebral thriller, EX MACHINA. Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet-search giant, wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company’s brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac).

Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test – charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan’s latest experiment in artificial intelligence.

That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated – and more deceptive – than the two men could have imagined.

A24 will release EX MACHINA in theaters on April 10.

EX MACHINA will have its North American Premiere out of the SXSW Festival on Saturday, March 14th.
