Self/Less looks like one of the weirdest premises for a film I’ve ever seen…
Ben Kingsley plays Damian, an extremely wealthy man, dying from cancer, who undergoes a radical medical procedure that transfers his consciousness into the body of healthy young man, also called Damian (Ryan Reynolds). But all is not as it seems when he starts to uncover the mystery of the body’s origin and the organization that will kill to protect its cause.
Also starring Matthew Goode and Michelle Dockery, the script comes from David Pastor and Àlex Pastor, and it is directed by Tarsem Singh, also responsible for Jennifer Lopez’s The Cell, plus Immortals, Mirror Mirror and the video for REM’s Losing My Religion.
Self/Less is released in the UK on July 31st.
