Samuel LoveAfter nearly a decade away from feature filmmaking, Gore Verbinski returns with the wonderfully titled GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE, a sci-fi adventure blending dark comedy, time-travel chaos, and commentary on our tech-obsessed world. Led by Academy Award-winner Sam Rockwell, this crazy film follows a mysterious future traveler who recruits diner patrons for a mission to stop an AI-driven apocalypse. Equal parts satire and crowd-pleasing blockbuster, the film’s adventurous spirit recalls the energy of Verbinski’s Pirates of the Caribbean, whilst delivering a modern story full of eccentric characters, visual flair, and a warning of where AI could be taking us.
Synopsis
A dark night. A crowded diner. A man with a detonator bursts in proclaiming to be from the future. This is the 117th time he’s returned with the same imperative. Before time runs out, he must recruit a group of distinctly unqualified diner patrons (Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, and Juno Temple) to stop the impending AI apocalypse and save humanity from the perils of social media. The problem? Everything is stacked against them – from skeptical strangers and brain-rotted teenagers, to algorithmic monstrosities beyond their control. But if this unlikely group can pull it off, the world might just turn out okay…. Or not, I dunno!
From Oscar-winning director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring, Rango), GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE is a comedic, kinetic, gonzo, world-ending adventure like nothing you’ve ever experienced.
GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE is available on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD from Entertainment in Video
