If science fiction cinema has taught us anything, it's that scientists really should be careful when crafting humanlike androids. It rarely ends well... Clearly, Theo James' George Almore hasn't been paying attention in the new trailer for Archive.
The film, directed by Moon visual effects and graphics whizz Gavin Rothery, is set in 2038. Two and a half years into a three-year research contract, Almore is on the verge of a breakthrough. Stationed halfway up a snow-capped mountain near Kyoto at a secret facility codenamed The Garden, he has been working on a model that is a true human-equivalent android.

Archive will be in UK cinemas on 15 January ahead of a digital download release on 18 January.
