EP03 - Upgrade (2018)
Manage episode 457104842 series 3626915
Welcome back to CYBERPUNK CINEMA - the definitive dive into the dark future of science fiction. In this week's episode, I will breakdown the criminally overlooked UPGRADE (2018), a fantastic modern blend of cyberpunk and cyber-horror! It was written/directed by Leigh Whannell, and stars the amazing and underrated Logan Marshall-Green.
I had never seen this movie until a couple of weeks ago, and damn, I was pleasantly surprised and blown away. It was produced by Blumhouse Productions (you know who they are) with a budget of only 3-million, and it looks like a 50-mil production! I notice that it's getting a lot of new buzz on Twitter/X, and I believe Whannell is adapting it into a TV Series next (that would be a perfect medium for this kind of story going forward).
You should all check it out. You won't be disappointed!
Thank you ALL for your support. I see some great numbers rolling in already, and if you keep coming back, I'll keep producing these episodes! Tell your friends, heck, tell your enemies! The more the merrier.
