9 Movies That Will Dominate 2014
8. Transcendence
His directorial debut tackles the possibility of the Technological Singularity, the moment when artificial intelligence surpasses that of humans.
Johnny Depp leads the cast in this controversial sci-fi thriller.
Depp is known for taking on weird roles and is best known for playing Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie series.
He’s has also acted in “Edward Scissorhands”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” He began his acting career as a young heartthrob on “21 Jump Street”.
If this story is done well, the idea that computers can go past the intelligence of humans could create an epic movie. If anyone can pull off the lead role in this movie, it is Johnny Depp and his amazing depth of character.
Depp plays a terminally ill scientist who downloads his brain onto a computer. In his quest for knowledge, Dr. Will Caster (Depp), becomes unstoppable. He has spent his career trying to create a machine that takes the collective intelligence of all that is known, and also has a full range of emotions.
We believe Wally Pfister will do great in his first Director’s role.
