Simulant is a sci-fi thriller directed by April Mullen starring Robbie Amell, Jordana Brewster, Simu Liu and Sam Worthington.
It is a world full of misery, ruled by technology in which humans count for little, because Artificial Intelligence controls everything.
No, it’s not Italian neorealism. For at least the next six months, it’s science fiction.
Not the best.
Movie review Simulant (2023)
The trouble with dreams is that sometimes they come true, and the fictions that Aldous Huxley and George Orwell (or even Philip K. Dick) imagined are starting to come true with the advent of AI, and Simulant is just one of the thousands attempts of rendering to come.
It’s neither disastrous nor is it good, but the seed that brings it to life has neither an apotheosis formulation nor anything we don’t read about on the newspapers in a daily basis, nor is the story development brutal enough,...

"He didn't know that he was a Sim." Mongrel Media in Canada has unveiled the first official trailer for an indie sci-fi thriller titled Simulant, made by filmmaker April Mullen. This Canadian production will be in theaters in Canada in April, then in the US this summer. A humanoid A.I.'s attempt to win over a widow's heart places it in the path of a government agent trying to stop the rise of machine consciousness. It's about an android that is reprogrammed to try and be more human to win back his ex-lover, but this puts him in the cross-hairs of the Artificial Intelligence Compliance Enforcement (Aice) agency. This plot is just a twist on Blade Runner pretty much, with Worthington as the Deckard character. The film stars Robbie Amell, Jordana Brewster, Alicia Sanz, with Simu Liu, and Sam Worthington (as the agent). The director adds this comment regarding...

If you're the kind of person who races to Rotten Tomatoes before you give a movie the time of day, then you probably think Wander isn't worth your time.
After reading this review of April Mullen's interpretation of Tim Doiron's script, you might be persuaded to give the film another chance.
Not only is the story unique, but it's brought to life by an all-star cast. When a group of actors like this assembles for a low-budget film, it's worth considering that they saw something special in the material.
Although it will be tough, I will do my best not to spoil too much of the movie here in the review.
The more you know about the story's particulars, the less likely you will be surprised by what unfolds before you. This isn't the kind of movie that you'll enjoy if you know too much.

A “Jacob’s Ladder”-ish paranoid thriller arriving just in time to find conspiracy theories plunked right in the middle of post-election American politics, “Wander” only muddies the water further. This latest collaboration between director April Mullen and writer Tim Doiron offers yet another unpredictable shift, but pushes its idiosyncrasies off a cliff before establishing any narrative terra firma.
There is some pleasure to be had in watching an atypically frenetic Aaron Eckhart as a Ptsd-afflicted loner wading deep into possibly-imagined evildoings in the Southwest, with Tommy Lee Jones and Heather Graham also welcome as two allies. Still, the film’s hyperbolic style and convoluted storytelling tend to exhaust patience rather than build intrigue, making for a muddle whose too-many twists and turns ultimately seem meaningless as well as implausible. Saban Films is releasing the Canadian co-production to American audiences via digital, on demand and available theaters Dec. 4.

Aaron Eckhart is living on the edge these days, and he couldn’t be more excited about it. With April Mullen’s Wander set for release on Dec. 4, Eckhart is at the beginning of a “three or four” film run of independent releases that offer him the freedom he’s rarely found in the major studio system. On the set of Wander, Eckhart embraced the daily unpredictability of independent film, especially since it suited his character rather well. In the desert-set thriller, Eckhart plays Arthur Bretnik, an unhinged private investigator who’s trying to expose the conspiracy behind his daughter’s death.

Aaron Eckhart is living on the edge these days, and he couldn’t be more excited about it. With April Mullen’s Wander set for release on Dec. 4, Eckhart is at the beginning of a “three or four” film run of independent releases that offer him the freedom he’s rarely found in the major studio system. On the set of Wander, Eckhart embraced the daily unpredictability of independent film, especially since it suited his character rather well. In the desert-set thriller, Eckhart plays Arthur Bretnik, an unhinged private investigator who’s trying to expose the conspiracy behind his daughter’s death.

"We're pinning down the truth." Saban Films has unveiled a trailer for a small town mystery thriller titled Wander, from filmmaker April Mullen. This just premiered at the Deauville Film Festival in France, but that's the only place it has screened. Aaron Eckhart stars as a mentally unstable private detective hired to investigate a suspicious death in the small town of Wander. He soon believes the murder may be linked to the death of his daughter and a "conspiracy cover up". From the looks of it, there may be some truth to this but not everything is what it seems. The film also stars Raymond Cruz, Katheryn Winnick, Heather Graham, Brendan Fehr, Nicole Steinwedell, with Tommy Lee Jones. This looks like so many other dusty small town crime thrillers, but at least Eckhart has a grizzled, unhinged character to dig into this time. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for April Mullen's Wander,...

Exclusive: Copper comes from Arizona, and Peaches from Georgia, but if we had to rewrite the lyrics to the Blossom Dearie standard “Rhode Island is Famous For You,” you can add film production to the latter 1,214 square mile sized state. Much of that has to do with producer Chad A. Verdi who over the last eight years has pumped out 20 features with notable homegrown titles like 2016’s Bleed for This and the upcoming Grindstone Entertainment Group/Lionsgate crime pic Vault, both which shine a spotlight on his native Rhode Island.
Vault is one of six projects that Verdi has in his 2019-2020 pipeline, which also includes Martin Scorsese’s upcoming Netflix movie The Irishman this fall. The pic reps Verdi’s fifth film with The Departed Oscar-winning director and producer Emma Tillinger Koskoff.

When Brandon Routh originally migrated over from Arrow to Legends of Tomorrow, I’m pretty sure he never thought that he’d one day find himself playing the big bad. But to the credit of Ray Palmer, he never really went to the dark side. Instead, he’s been possessed by Neron in recent weeks and will soon unleash all kinds of hell.
From what we can gather, the demon who once used John Constantine’s ex-boyfriend as a vessel will now use his current meat suit to his advantage. Putting to use the notoriety and resources of Ray Palmer himself, Neron will soon roll out a new product – but potential consumers will really want to read those terms of service, hence the title of this season’s penultimate episode.
Had those folks read the fine print, then they’d know they’re willingly surrendering their souls to Neron. In fact,...
