Melissa McCarthy headlines the romantic comedy “Superintelligence,” directed by Ben Falcone, and starring Bobby Cannavale and James Corden.
Nothing extraordinary ever happens to Carol Peters (McCarthy), so when she starts getting snarky backtalk from her TV, phone and microwave, she thinks she’s being punked. Or losing her mind. In fact, the world’s first artificial superintelligence has chosen to study and observe Carol’s attempt to romantically reconcile with her former boyfriend to better understand the human condition. Soon, the all-powerful entity takes over her life…with ominous plans to take over the world. Now, Carol is potentially humanity’s last chance before this AI-with-an-attitude decides to pull the plug.
The starring cast also includes Brian Tyree Henry, and Jean Smart.
McCarthy and Falcone are producing, alongside Rob Cowan, whose credits include the Falcone/McCarthy comedy “Tammy,” “Aquaman” and the “Conjuring” films. “Superintelligence” is written by Steve Mallory. Richard Brener, Michael Disco, Mallory, Aaron L. Gilbert and Jason Cloth are the executive producers.
Superintelligence releases in Australia in theatres on December 17, 2020.
