The end of the world seems to be a topic that will always be interesting to delve into in films and TV series. But most of those stories take place in the post-apocalypse with people scavenging for food and doing horrible things to stay alive. That’s not the post-apocalypse that is shown in the new film, “Biosphere.”
As seen in the trailer for “Biosphere,” the film does take place in the post-apocalypse, but not in the way you might be expecting. You see, the film follows two friends, one of whom happens to be a brilliant scientist, as they survive the end of the world thanks to the comforts of their new dome home. But things start to get a little crazy when one of their sources of protein starts to deplete.
The film stars Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass as the aforementioned friends. The film is actually co-written and produced by Duplass, who wrote the moving alongside director Mel Eslyn. “Biosphere” marks the feature directorial debut for Eslyn.
“Biosphere” will arrive in theaters on July 7. You can watch the new teaser below.
Here’s the synopsis:
Billy (Mark Duplass) and Ray (Sterling K. Brown) are lifelong best friends, brothers from another mother—they also happen to be the last two men on earth. Their survival is largely due to Ray, a brilliant scientist who designed the custom biosphere they call home, outfitting it with both creature comforts and the necessities to sustain life on a doomed planet. When the population of their fishpond—which supplies essential protein—begins waning, the men find themselves facing an ominous future. But life may yet find a way… Uproarious and tender in equal measure, this TIFF favorite and directorial debut from long-time Duplass producer Mel Eslyn explores the human capacity for change.
