20th Century Fox has released the first fullMorgantrailer online. The debut film fromLuke Scott(commercial director and son of Ridley Scott) starsKate Maraas a corporate troubleshooter sent to evaluate a terrifying incident at a remote, top-secret lab where she discovers the scientists have created a new form of evil inhabiting a human form.
This modern-day spin onFrankensteinlooks promising, especially when you’ve gotThe Witchstar Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role. If anything is detracting from the film, it’s the Labor Day weekend release date, which is usually a sign of dumping the film. That being said, it’s possible that Fox doesn’t know what they have or that it’s just too niche to be widely appreciated in the heart of the summer or the fall seasons. Either way, I’m definitely keeping this flick on my radar due to its intriguing premise and terrific cast. At the very least, this should be an interesting showcase for Taylor-Joy, who was just outstanding inThe Witch, and I’m eager to see what she does next.
Check out theMorgantrailer below. The film also starsRose Leslie, Boyd Holbrook, Michelle Yeoh, Jennifer Jason Leigh, andPaul Giamatti.
Here’s the official synopsis forMorgan:
A corporate troubleshooter (Kate Mara) is sent to a remote, top-secret location, where she is to investigate and evaluate a terrifying accident. She learns the event was triggered by a seemingly innocent “human,” who presents a mystery of both infinite promise and incalculable danger.
