Slowly but surely, Kristen Stewart has been becoming one of our most interesting young actresses. At the same time, filmmaker Drake Doremus has been crafting some under the radar yet memorable work, namely with Like Crazy and Breathe In. Now, they’ve come together for Equals, a science fiction romance opening this weekend that’s really quite interesting. I saw the movie back at the Tribeca Film Festival and found it very compelling, especially for Stewart’s turn, as well as in regards to Doremus as an evolving director. Stewart also has Woody Allen’s new film Cafe Society hitting this week, and I’ll continue my praise of that one in a few days, but today I’m focused on Doremus’ project with her. The flick is in some ways a sci-fi/dystopian take on Romeo and Juliet. It follows Silas (Nicholas Hoult) as he navigates a supposed “utopia...

This is a capsule review. A full review will be posted closer to release.
With its monochrome sci fi setting and central metaphor that’s unwieldy enough to choke a python, you’d expect Equals to have either high energy action, or a knotty plot as the reason to visit this frighteningly familiar dystopia (here: Equilibrium as designed by Ikea and Apple). But the latest film from Like Crazy director Drake Doremus offers no such physical or mental gymnastics, and instead attempts to wow you with something much simpler.
It’s a tale as old as time (“1984,” if you need a specific time): boy meets girl, they fall in love, and now life in their controlled society -one based on total emotional repression- has just become a lot more complicated. Given the well-worn territory, it’s smart that Nathan Parker’s script doesn’t worry too much about the...

Read More: Apparat To Score Drake Doremus' 'Equals' Starring Kristen Stewart And Nicholas Hoult, Plot Synopsis Revealed Filmmaker Drake Doremus is the last guy you'd expect to build an entire movie around the concept of a world without love and emotion -- after all, Doremus is a self-professed love obsessive, and his last two films ("Like Crazy" and "Breathe In") have been consumed by the power of love in its many forms -- but that's exactly what he sought to explore in his newest feature, "Equals." Set in a future-ish world where emotion and love have been forcibly stamped out in order to provide a stable environment for a very productive society, "Equals" is just as preoccupied with love as Doremus' earlier films, though it's certainly a departure for the filmmaker. The film stars Nicholas Hoult and Kristen Stewart as co-workers who discover that they're both suffering from S.

Last spring, word arrived that electronic artist Apparat would be scoring the sci-fi romance "Equals" starring Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult. It was promising news, and today the film's score has become an even more exciting proposition. Dustin O'Halloran, director Drake Doremus' previous collaborator on "Like Crazy," "Breathe In," and the web series "The Beauty Inside," has joined Apparat and the pair will co-score "Equals." Penned by Nathan Parker ("Moon"), and co-starring plus Guy Pearce, Jacki Weaver Kate Lyn Sheil and Toby Huss, the film follows Silas (Hoult) who lives in a future society called The Collective where everything is peaceful, calm, fair, and polite and there is no greed, no poverty, no violence, and no emotion. However, a new disease known as Switched-On-Syndrome brings back the emotions that have been long repressed in The Collective, and...
