Ray Gunn trailer: Brad Bird blends sci-fi and film noir for a futuristic mystery
From "The Incredibles" director Brad Bird comes "Ray Gunn," a sci-fi noir starring Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson.
Brad Bird, renowned filmmaker behind "The Iron Giant" and "Ratatouille," is set to release his latest passion project, "Ray Gunn," to theaters and Netflix. The film, set in a futuristic city of Metropia, follows the last human private eye, Ray Gunn (Sam Rockwell), and his partner Eyera (Tom Waits) as they navigate a mystery involving a pop star named Venus Nova (Scarlett Johansson) and a corrupt record company.
The world of "Ray Gunn" is inspired by pre-World War II architecture and futurism, with futuristic design elements and a dark underbelly, reflecting the noir genre. The film aims to evoke emotions through its scenes, despite being a tightrope to walk due to the numerous ideas involved. Bird drew inspiration from directors like Michael Curtiz, John Huston, David Lean, Orson Welles, and Alfred Hitchcock, incorporating their unique styles into the film.
Filmed in 70mm, the movie promises to deliver a grand cinematic experience when released on December 4 in select theaters and on Netflix on December 18.
