We’ve just seen the trailer for the techno-terror Peripheral, and it seems Bobbi Johnson (played by Hannah Arterton) might just be the unluckiest writer since Paul Sheldon from Misery! But whereas Paul was manipulated by a rabid fan, Bobbi is doing battle with an artificial intelligence that may be hijacking her prose.
Have a look at the synopsis and trailer at the bottom of the article. Peripheral is directed by Paul Hyett (The Seasoning House, Howl, Heretiks) from a script penned by Dan Schaffer (Doghouse, The Scribbler); in addition to Arterton, the film stars Tom Conti and Rosie Day
Synopsis:
Bobbi Johnson is a young literary sensation facing her difficult second novel. Already dealing with a crazed stalker and her junkie ex-boyfriend, Bobbi is convinced by her publisher to use new smart editing software and finds herself going head-to-head with an artificial intelligence determined to write her book for her. As the machine manipulates her work to suit its own nefarious ends, Bobbi begins to realize that she is being controlled in ways far more sinister than she suspected. She may, in fact, be a pawn in a conspiracy of social mind control. Too far down the rabbit hole to turn back, Bobbi must keep writing, fighting her own addictions and hallucinations as she rushes to beat her deadline without selling her soul in the process and becoming a cog in a monstrous machine.
We don’t have a release date for Peripheral, but we’ll keep our ears to the ground in order to bring you updates as they emerge.
