“The Circle” Trailers and Poster

based on a book, drama, science fiction, thriller, , , , , , ,

the-circle-posterBased on the international bestseller by Dave Eggers and directed by James Ponsoldt, The Circle stars Emma Watson and Tom Hanks. What a combination to behold. Watson’s career is really doing well after her Harry Potter days.

The Circle is a thrilling modern morality tale following Mae, played by Watson, as she rises through the ranks of the world’s largest tech and social media company. She’s encouraged by company founder Eamon Bailey, played by Hanks, to live her life with complete transparency. But no one is safe when everyone is watching.

The trailer seems a bit convoluted without giving the story away or reading the book.  It is hard to tell what is happening, but I can’t agree more with the idea that knowledge is power.

The story looks intense, and  Emma Watson appears well with Tom Hanks.
