WOw de mensen achter The Akira Project zijn terug met een nieuwe film die als titel Temple gaat krijgen. Deze speelt zich in een sombere toekomst af waar cybernetic implantaten heel normaal zijn en deze in verkeerde handen een hoop problemen kunnen veroorzaken. De teaser trailer die vandaag verscheen heeft de perfecte sfeer van Akira en Ghost in the Shell, dus reden genoeg om op play te drukken.

By 2085, ocean levels have risen to a point that entire coastal cities and islands have been submerged. On an island megalopolis, a genetic virus and cybernetic beings are threatening the survival of its population. Oz, a health services employee, must find a way to survive amidst the swelling chaos.

Temple is a concept short film for a science-fiction cyberpunk thriller, helmed by the same team that produced The Akira Project, a crowd-sourced, live-action trailer based on the manga AKIRA, released in May 2014. It garnered over 3 million views online and received wide media coverage by Wired, The Creators Project, /Film, Mashable, amongst many others. The director, Nguyen-Anh Nguyen, is now represented by 3 Arts Entertainment and is developing TEMPLE as his first long form project, basing himself on everything he loves; dystopian sci-fi, cyborgs and martial arts with a touch of manga thrown in for good measure. Supported again by a talented global production crew, we recently shot a short film to be launched online in mid-2015, which will serve as a proof of concept for the financing of the feature film.
