Love is in the air, but consistently trying to be eradicated within the first trailer for Equals, which premiered this morning. The science fiction drama stars Nicholas Hoult (X-Men series, A Single Man) and Kristen Stewart (Twilight series, Still Alice) as members of a futuristic society who have contracted “Switched On Syndrome”—a clinical way to say that they’ve fallen in love with each other. That’s not a great thing when you live in a world that has deliberately obliterated emotions in favor of absolute order.
While we don’t get much in terms of storyline (or a release date) from this initial trailer, it’s safe to assume that chaos will ensue when people start to think for themselves.
