Focus Features has unveiled the trailer for the dystopian sci-fi thriller, Hot Spot.

The genre-bending film is set in “a near future society ruled by sentient AI, where a private eye investigates a murder case, only to discover a rebel group capable of undermining the digital overlord.”

Andrzej Konopka (The Lure), Noomi Rapace (Prometheus), and Reika Kirishima (Drive My Car) star. 

Agnieszka Smoczyńska (The Lure) directs from a script by Robert Bolesto (The Lure).

The project was developed with the support of The Sundance Institute, which presented Smoczyńska with its 2017 Global Filmmaking Award.

Producers include Klaudia Smieja-Rostworowska at Poland’s Madants, who produced Claire Denis’ High Life and Agnieszka Holland’s Mr Jones, alongside Before Midnight producer Christos V. Konstantakopoulos at Greek production outfit Faliro House. 

The film will be released in North American theaters on August 21.
