29 january 2025 в 22:13
Drew Hancock’s companion is not what one could call «healthy relationships». It’s mostly about a robot companion and the various difficulties that arise when inviting artificial intelligence into our lives and even into our homes. «I thought it was one of the best scripts I’ve ever read in my life», - co-star Jack Quaid told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on January 28. «I like that people tend to prefer to go into this movie blind, which, in my opinion, is a great way to watch it. I wouldn’t describe it as a plot twist movie, where everything depends on how strong that twist hits to understand if it’s good or not, but I still think it’s a great film that stands on its own regardless».
Jack stars alongside an impressive young ensemble in a terrifying tale of artificial intelligence. Keep reading to learn more about each of them.
Sophie Thatcher, 24, plays Iris, the robot companion. In her mid-twenties, Sophie has already become a kind of horror queen in Hollywood — a title she is proud of. «I find it incredibly flattering because all the best actresses can be described that way, but in any case, I hate being put in a box», - she told THR. Sophie has previously appeared in horror films with Mormon themes like «Heretic» with Hugh Grant and has appeared in «The Wind», - «Maxine», - and «Yellow Jackets» on Showtime.
