The flick will premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival later this month, and judging by the trailer that Deadline Hollywood posted online yesterday (viewed above), much of the film concerns the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, a perennial subject of interest for Popular Science. Another trailer was released earlier this month, shedding quite a bit more details about the film: There is no official release date on the horizon, but here are some of the most provocative quotes from various documentary subjects who appear in the trailer:
“You could essentially, in the not too distant future, tweet thoughts.”“Will our children’s children’s children need the companionship of humans?”“We do love Robot Eight.”
Sufficed to say, we here at Popular Science are about as excited for this film as we were for another recent film that premiered not a very long time ago…
