Now Garland is set to make his directorial debut on a film called Ex Machina.
THR reports that the film is also written by Garland, and that it is about “a billionaire programmer who handpicks a young employee to spend a week at his remote estate and participate in a test involving his latest invention: an artificially intelligent female robot.”
(Not to be confused with Spike Jonze’s upcoming Her, which also features a relationship of sorts between a man and a bit of man-made tech.)
DNA Films, which has worked on previous Garland films such as Dredd, Never Let Me Go, and 28 Days Later, producing with Scott Rudin and Eli Bush.
Ex Machina is set to shoot later this year; hopefully we’ll see it in 2014.
