Post Emma Watson, Tom Hanks in first trailer for thriller 'The Circle'

The first trailer for the upcoming crime thriller The Circle, starring Emma Watson as up-and-comer Mae Holland who gets a new job at one of the biggest tech companies in the world, has been released online.

The Harry Potter actress costars alongside Oscar-winner Tom Hanks (who plays The Circle's head Eamon Bailey), Star Wars' John Boyega, and Patton Oswalt, in the movie set for an April 2017 theatrical release.



The film's director, James Ponsoldt, spoke about the plot of the film and what drives Emma's main character, with USA Today this week:

Quote:
James Ponsoldt: "Mae asks many of the same questions. She’s struggling, living with her parents, looking for meaning and frustrated She lands her dream job. Then things start to get weird."

"Bailey's notion is that knowing is good, and knowing everything is better. He believes all experiences should be available to everyone, not only the privileged or people who can afford to them. He’s deeply interested in technology that can make people share all human experiences with everyone. He’s a boundary pusher, even boundary destroyer."

"She becomes a pseudo-celebrity with her superpower, that she's natural, relatable and willing to speak freely about everything in her life. But it gets to the point where it's almost a religion and then a glass prison of celebrity."

"It's a fun ride. We live through Mae. She is us. You will walk out of the theater and have a serious look at yourself and how you’re living your life."
