Trailer Watch: Hugh Jackman Searches For Lost Memories In Sci-Fi Thriller Reminiscence
The movie also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Thandie Newton and Daniel Wu.
Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy wrote, directed and co-produced Reminiscence which follows Jackman’s character as he tries to help clients access lost memories. After one of the clients, Mae (Rebecca Ferguson — The Greatest Showman reunion alert!) disappears, Bannister uncovers a violent conspiracy.
In the just-released trailer, we learn that because the world has gone to shit (rising sea levels, wars) and “there wasn’t a lot to look forward to, so people began looking back,” says Bannister in the voiceover. “Nothing is more addictive than the past.” And addiction is a destructive force.
Judging from the preview, Reminiscence has the look and feel of a Christopher Nolan mind-shagging epic where nothing is what it appears to be. (FYI: Joy is married to Jonathan Nolan, Chris’ younger brother; Jackman worked with the Nolans on The Prestige.) Given its scale and scope, the movie begs to be seen on the big screen.
