“The following promotional video has been generated using computer software and consists of randomly chosen shots from the feature film BULK.” So begins the official trailer for Ben Wheatley’s (Kill List, Free Fire, High Rise, Meg 2: The Trench, In the Earth) new movie, which was directed in secret and described by the filmmaker as a true “midnight movie.”
Wheatley previews, “This is a midnight film through and through. Car chases, gun fights, sci-fi, and romance.” BULK has also been described as “a return to the thrillingly free-spirited filmmaker’s homegrown, kaleidoscopic works like In The Earth and A Field in England.”
Here’s the synopsis, which brings us no closer to understanding what’s going on here….
“When an overzealous scientist pushes his experiments with string theory too far – his brane explodes. Thats “brane,” not “brain” – but that means someone has to sort out the mess he has created. Our hero Corey Harlan is sent in – kicking and screaming – to find the heart of the brane and its creator Anton Chambers. Now manifested as a normal town house hosted by the enigmatic and multi-dimensional Aclima, his adventure begins. A house where opening a door from one room to another can lead you to other worlds, not just the kitchen.”
Unexpect the expected and watch the trailer for BULK below.
The film will premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on August 14.
