Netflix has released the trailer and key art for the upcoming original film ARQ, premiering on Friday, September 16 to Netflix members worldwide. Take a look at the footage in the video player above.
ARQ, starring Robbie Amell (“The Flash”) and Rachael Taylor (“Jessica Jones”) is a Netflix original film set in a dystopian society, written and directed by Tony Elliott (“Orphan Black”). The film is an official selection of the 2016 Toronto Film Festival.
This may have a familiar plot device to GROUNDHOG DAY, or the more recent EDGE OF TOMORROW, but ARQ appears to be a separate animal – a sci-fi thriller, along the lines of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, or Duncan Jones’ MOON and SOURCE CODE.
In a future where corporations battle against sovereign nations over the last of the world’s energy supplies, young engineer Renton and Hannah find themselves attempting to save an experimental energy technology that could end the wars. The catch is, the technology has created a time loop that causes them to relive a deadly home invasion over and over again. They must figure out how to stop the time loop and come out of it alive.
