At this point , Andrew Niccol has become synonymous with weird dystopias . Gattaca , Truman Show , In Time , Lord of War … even The Host , based on a Stephenie Meyer novel . Now he ’s making a dystopia about our surveillance state , with his In Time cobalt - star , Amanda Seyfried .
Anon , his next dystopia , comes on the heels of Good Kill , which was actually a dystopia set in the here and now , about poke strikes . With Anon , Niccol returns to the scary near - future that he ordinarily works within . Clive Owen plays a investigator in a humankind where there ’s no anonymity or privacy . Everybody is trackable , everything is know . This means no more crime , supposedly . But then Owen meets a womanhood , run by Seyfried , who has no digital footprint . And this have in mind that a whole Modern kind of criminal offence is appearing .
Anyway , Niccol ’s somewhat stylized paranoid dystopias are sort of an acquired taste perception at this level — you either love his weird aesthesia or you do n’t . I kind of get laid it , and this sound like he could really have his fingerbreadth on the heartbeat of our over - survey culture . [ Deadline ]
