What happens when a computer genius, who is bound to push the limits on AI, by creating an AI life coach, accidentally programs his manipulative mother into the source code? That sounds like it could be a comedy, but it’s actual a thriller, starring Frankie Muniz! You have to check out the trailer for this, with Frankie turning in what looks like a great performance in a darker role than normal! Of course, there is always a lesson to be learned about how we navigate the future with AI, especially as it seems like it is fairly easy to fall to corruption! Make sure that you check it out at your local theater on February 7th!

Renner, a reclusive computer genius driven by a need for control, designs an A.I. named Salenus to help him overcome his crippling social anxieties and find love. Encouraged by Salenus, Renner forms a connection with his alluring neighbor Jamie, but their relationship starts to unravel when she begins to interact with the A.I. As dark secrets and betrayals begin to surface, Salenus’s influence on Renner takes a malicious turn, leaving him entangled in the devastating consequences of his invention.

“Bringing this story to life required a lead who could not only embody the brilliance of Renner, but also capture the emotional complexity of a man wrestling with forces far beyond his control. Frankie Muniz did just that – delivering a performance unlike anything audiences have ever seen from him. A.I. isn’t some distant possibility — it’s here, shaping our lives right now. Renner explores that reality and asks: What happens when the creation outpaces the creator? I hope this film will spark conversation, provoke thought, and remind us all that every technological leap comes with a cost.” – Robert Rippberger
