10 Upcoming Movies You Won't Believe Are Real
8. The Entertainment System Is Down
The plot for The Entertainment System Is Down - the new film from Triangle of Sadness director Ruben Östlund - sounds more like an SNL skit than, y'know, an actual movie. Mileage will probably vary on whether that's a good or bad thing.
The film will unfold on a long-haul flight where the onboard entertainment system goes down, forcing a group of passengers to deal with the existential peril of... crushing boredom for the rest of the flight.
The satirical potential speaks for itself, though it's hardly much of a startling revelation that humanity has become frighteningly reliant on convenient modern tech.
And so, it'll be intriguing to see how Östlund takes a skit-worthy setup and carries it through a feature-length runtime.
In the very least he's certainly got one hell of a cast aboard already, with the brilliant likes of Kirsten Dunst, Daniel Brühl, Keanu Reeves, Samantha Morton and Nicholas Braun signed to star.
