By Mario Osorio Beristain. Venice Posted 5 Sep (Notimex) .- A future without love, aseptic, where humans have been genetically modified to eliminate emotions, is imagined by the director Drake Doremus in his film “Equals”, presented today at competition section of the Venice Film Festival. Starring Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult in the roles of Nia and Silas, infected lovers Switched On Syndrom (SOS) that brings out the emotions, the complete film trilogy of love stories Doremus, composed of “Like Crazy” (2011 ), awarded at the Sundance Festival, and “Breathe In” (2013). “The hyper is not the main aspect of the film, rather I wanted to make an emotional story in a posfuturista society. Is a love story that actually could be located at any place or time, “said the director at a press conference. It is not, he insisted, a dystopia, but a utopia, but without feelings, no feelings, because in the plot have been removed to protect society from conflicts that characterized previous generations. But the film’s attempt to suppress emotions is not entirely successful, as some individuals become infected with SOS and are required to undergo drug den or sent to a correctional center where priests are suppressed. Produced by Ridley Scott, the film vaguely remember the novel “Brave New World” by British writer Aldous Huxley, though Doremus said to have inspired by the “Blade Runner” tape (Scott himself) and “Alps” by Giorgios Lanthimos. “I wanted the protagonists, after discovering love, you live like a curse. Nia and Silas reject, would escape, but attract each other and fail to resist the power of love, “he said. He noted that as protagonists two young actors capable of expressing the subtleties of a complicated script were necessary and that the role of women was chosen Stewart, ready to work “body and soul” to build character. “In my opinion she had the emotional maturity and talent for the role,” he said. He said that the role of Silas thought Hoult from the start. “It is rare to find two actors that add value to a tape at the same time and are suitable for the role and Nick and Kristen are two of them; They have been very lucky having had them. ” Present at the press conference, both players stressed their satisfaction at having worked on “Equals”. “The two characters will die for each other, it is fantastic to find someone brave enough to sacrifice for someone else and for something bigger and so is love,” said Stewart. He confessed, however, that it was difficult to get into the role of the protagonist, not to show emotions, as if dying and seeking to express nothing. “No emotions will live well, have confidence because there are no doubts, just follow the order of society, where everyone is equal,” he said. Hoult stressed that it was the first time that Doremus work with a script. “We were lucky because we had a benchmark.” “Sometimes what was written it corresponded exactly to the wishes of the director and sometimes gave us the freedom to see what was happening,” he added.
