Due out this time next year, Paranoia sees Robert Luketic (21) return behind the camera for a new direction, heading into dramatic/thriller territory in a world of corporate espionage.
With an impressive leading trio of Liam Hemsworth, Gary Oldman, and Harrison Ford, the film has a lot of potential, and now USA Today have released the first official images from the film, giving us a look at all three.
“In this high-stakes thriller, Adam Cassidy (Liam Hemsworth) is an ambitious junior technologist trying to climb the ranks of telecom giant Wyatt Corporation. But after one costly mistake, Adam is blackmailed by ruthless CEO Nicholas Wyatt (Gary Oldman) to turn corporate spy by going to work for the firm’s top competitor, which is run by Wyatt’s old mentor, Jock Goddard (Harrison Ford). Adam soon finds himself delivered into prepackaged success, living his fantasy life of old-world boardrooms, private clubs, exotic cars, and all the spoils of Manhattan bachelorhood. However, behind the scenes, he is merely a pawn in Wyatt’s power play, and must search for a way out from under his boss, who will stop at nothing, even murder, to gain a multi-billion dollar advantage.”
The brilliant Amber Heard stars alongside them as the female lead, with Josh Holloway, Lucas Till, Richard Dreyfuss, and Embeth Davidtz completing the cast.
Luketic is directing from a script by Jason Dean Hall (Spread) and Barry Levy (Vantage Point), who adapt the original novel by Joseph Finder.
Paranoia is set for release on 4th October, 2013 in the US. No word yet on a UK release date, but with the cast as big as it is, we’ll hopefully be seeing it on our shores around the same time. For now, here are the first official images from the film, which you can click to enlarge.
