The plot of Upgrade vocalise like a modern spin on RoboCop or The Six Million Dollar Man . It ’s about a gentleman who ’s paraplegic who gets implanted with a mysterious new engineering that makes him an ultra - muscular , deadly Orcinus orca . The timing works out too because his wife was recently murdered and he wants retaliation .
Written and directed by Leigh Whannell , the Centennial State - creator of Saw and Insidious , Upgrade premiered at South by Southwest last calendar month . Our ownEvan Narcisse calledit a “ crowd - pleaser with bite ” and said that despite it evidently being mold by classic scifi of the ‘ LXX and ‘ 80s , Whannell did his best to avoid and upend those image . Now there are two trailer to illustrate just that .
Here ’s the standard green stripe trailer for Leigh Whannell ’s Upgrade .
And here ’s the decidedly more violent red - band trailer .
Even without Evan ’s rave follow-up ( or the knowledge that it picked up a SXSW Audience Award ) , this movie just front like it has a ton of amazing scifi natural action potential . We ’ll get to see it all on June 1 when Upgrade , which stars Logan Marshall - Green and Betty Gabriel , opens in theatre .
