It’s been years since the revered David Cronenberg was in the director’s chair.

Cronenberg fans waited long enough as his next film was showcased at CinemaCon 2022 with Crimes of the Future.

The trailer was released prior to the convention in Las Vegas, but with few plot details and with a strange spectacle that left many viewers wondering on what the film is about.

The film stars Viggo Mortensen, Lea Seydoux, Kristen Stewart, Scott Speedman, Welket Bungue, Don McKellar, Yorgos Pirpassopoulos, Tanaya Beatty, Nadia Litz, Lihi Kornowski, and Denise Capezza.

Here is the official synopsis:

As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner Caprice (Lea Seydoux), Sal Tenser (Viggo Mortensen), celebrity performance artist, publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed. Their mission—to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.
