Anon – Trailer 1 – Clive Owen

Anon Anon is set in a near-future world where there is no privacy, ignorance or anonymity. Our private memories are recorded and crime almost ceases to exist.

In a modern world where advanced biosyn implants mean everyone is subjected to a relentless visual stream of information they call the ‘Mind’s Eye’, privacy and anonymity as we know it has vanished. With everyone’s personal information on public display and each person’s life recorded down to the millisecond, personal information is downloaded to a vast grid called ‘The Ether’, a database which law enforcement can access and use to prosecute criminals.

In trying to solve a series of unsolved murders which appear to be linked, and unable to identify the killers, it soon becomes apparent that what they have in common signals a major breakdown in the system on which society has come to rely. Sal Frieland (Clive Owen) stumbles onto a young, nameless woman (Amanda Seyfried) who appears to have subverted the system and disappeared. She has no identity, no history and no record. Sal realises it may not be the end of crime… but the beginning.

Known only as The Girl, she must be found before Sal becomes the next victim.

Anon is released in the UK on May 11th – both in cinemas and on Sky, similar to the recent The Hurricane Heist, and I’m definitely looking forward to this.

Writer/Director Andrew Niccol‘s Gattaca had a lot that was great about it, so I’m very intrigued to see this.

Also stars: Colm Feore, Sonya Walger, Mark O’Brien, Joe Pingue, Iddo Goldberg, Sebastian Pigott, Rachel Roberts
