In this modern era, many disillusioned singles are frustrated with traditional dating, and perhaps some would consider abandoning human relationships for a supposedly more compatible and agreeable artificial partner. This niche market is exactly what the creators of the upcoming movie “Barbarian” are targeting. Following the triumph of the 2022 horror film that broke the monotony of horror genre replicas, “Barbarian’s” director Zach Cregger and Drew Hancock are back, collaborating to introduce their latest AI companions in the upcoming Warner Bros. sci-fi film titled “Companion.” A new trailer for this project was recently unveiled.
The latest trailer for the chilling suspense movie presents a grim twist on the concept of artificial intelligence relationships, contrasting with the romanticized portrayals in films like Her and Blade Runner 2049. When a wealthy individual passes away, a series of seemingly unfortunate and gruesome incidents unfold for an AI named Iris and her human companions during their weekend at his lakeside mansion. The trailer offers a gripping portrayal of all the potential dangers in a robotic relationship, such as self-manipulation and violent acts, suggesting that owning an AI companion may lead to being outwitted by a superior machine.
Get Your Own Companion Today!
In an unusual twist for marketing strategies, particularly in the horror genre, the project named Companion goes a step further by allowing fans to seek out a personalized AI companion that matches their unique personality simply by texting a provided number. The Instagram account of Companion shared a promotional video, urging enthusiasts to text the number 978-878-5683 today to discover their own companion.
After providing your first name, answering some fundamental questions about dating (with a hint of ominous remarks from the bot), and sending a selfie, you receive a customized and sharply satirical dating profile to share with your peers. It’s an ideal method to generate buzz for the upcoming horror-sci-fi movie centered around a lethal AI companion.
Initially slated for a release on January 19, the movie “Companion” has been rescheduled to January 31. Tickets are now on sale. Fingers crossed that Warner Bros. doesn’t exploit our data or empathy towards humanoid characters, but based on the trailer, it seems likely they might.
