Miles Teller, Jurnee Smollett, & More Bring SPIDERHEAD to NYC
The cast of Netflix’s SPIDERHEAD took over New York City last night, June 15 for a special screening of their new movie. Agnes Chu, Paul Wernick, Miles Teller, Jurnee Smollett, Eric Newman, Rhett Reese and Jeremy Steckler were joined by director, Joseph Kosinski as they walked the carpet before heading inside for the screening.
In a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by brilliant visionary Steve Abnesti (Chris Hemsworth), inmates wear a surgically attached device that administers dosages of mind-altering drugs in exchange for commuted sentences. There are no bars, no cells, or orange jumpsuits. In Spiderhead, incarcerated volunteers are free to be themselves. Until they’re not. At times, they’re a better version. Need to lighten up? There’s a drug for that. At a loss for words? There’s a drug for that, too. But when two subjects, Jeff (Miles Teller) and Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), form a connection, their path to redemption take a twistier turn, as Abnesti’s experiments start to push the limits of free will altogether.
The movie will be released on June 17! I love that Teller and Smollett kind of matched last night! They both looked great.
