TheWrap posted the follow story summary for the movie:
"The story follows three scientists, attempting work on stem cell and
advanced computer technology, which will
change the fundamentals of human life. Tension comes into play when they are
met by protest and resistance."
The Hollywood Reporter previously described the film
"as in the vein of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Inception. The story centers on
a man who creates a computer that develops a malevolent awareness. Depp will
play a husband who gets sucked into the computer, contingent on changes Pfister
is making to the script."
We recently learned that Prometheus star Noomi Rapace is up
for the female lead, while Tobey Maguire and James McAvoy are in the running
for the other male lead. Christoph Waltz has also been offered a key-supporting
role.
Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are exec producing the
Alcon production, which is reportedly budgeted in the $120 million range.
Warner Bros. will distribute domestically.
Transcendence begins filming in February.
