Atlas release date, cast, storyline, trailer release, and everything you need to know
In the recently released action film Atlas, which is available on Netflix, Jennifer Lopez plays a data analyst who is stuck on a far-off planet while trying to save life on Earth.
In Netflix’s summer smash The Mother, the celebrity singer made a comeback to the action genre. She then achieved new heights in Atlas, where her heroine is sent into space to take down a renegade robot warrior with whom she has a secret past.
However, when things go wrong on her mission, Atlas has to face her fear of AI and work with it to preserve mankind.
Jennifer Lopez battled her demons deep in the Alaskan Arctic in last year’s film The Mother. She is now heading off into orbit to confront her enemy. The multi-hyphenate actress plays the title role in her new movie Atlas, which is about a government analyst who is sent to a far-off planet to fight her oldest foe the robot warrior who destroyed her life.
Lopez said to Netflix, “Atlas is someone who has basically shut out the world around her.” “She doesn’t want anything to do with AI and doesn’t trust anyone.” Sadly, Atlas won’t have much of a choice while on her mission in the vast reaches of space; stuck in a powerful armor suit, she must face her dread of technology by uniting with it.
The galaxy-spanning adventure Atlas, which takes place in a high-tech environment and was directed by Brad Peyton (who also handled San Andreas and Rampage), was written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite.
As the new movie is ready to land on May 24, keep an eye on the stars and read on for additional details about Atlas’ heroic endeavour.
Netflix is undoubtedly embracing a grandiose summer extravaganza with “Atlas,” emulating Amazon’s “The Tomorrow War.” That is, ‘original’ science fiction movies that, in order to offset the parody of tried-and-true concepts, have huge production values and outstanding casts. Perhaps these should be made available on streaming for the foreseeable future, given that 20th Century Studios brilliantly produced “The Creator” took the box office by storm last year.
Netflix is going all out in the official trailer for Brad Peyton’s upcoming sci-fi action-adventure film Atlas, which features an intriguing ensemble to put it mildly. This comes after a lackluster “Atlas” teaser (beyond the amazing graphics) was published.
When will Atlas come out?
Friday, May 24, marks the global premiere of Atlas on Netflix.
What’s the story behind Atlas?
Brilliant but misanthropic data analyst Atlas Shepherd (Lopez), who has a strong mistrust of artificial intelligence, enlists in a quest to apprehend a rogue robot with whom she has an enigmatic background. Her best chance of preventing AI from endangering mankind, however, is to trust it when things don’t go as planned.
According to Peyton, Netflix, “the core of Atlas is really about trust and how difficult it is to trust people.” Atlas is narrated from the perspective of a lady who has experienced a trauma that has completely changed her life and is now learning to trust. It serves as a reminder that, in one way or another, we must have close, meaningful connections in our lives. that you have to choose to trust others and let them in at a certain point since you can’t accomplish everything on your own.
For Lopez, the movie’s plot is as straightforward as it gets. “At its core, this is a story of friendship and a love story, in a way,” she remarked, “and I loved that this is a big sci-fi action movie. “This is a different kind of love between two beings who connect in tragic circumstances and teach each other how to be more human,” the person said. “I always see everything as a love story.
Who’s in the cast of Atlas?
Jennifer Lopez
About the character
Atlas is the scientist’s daughter whose artificial intelligence experiment started a new era in the planet. Twenty-eight years after that technical innovation, Atlas works for the International Coalition of Nations (ICN) as a counterterrorism analyst. She goes into the field to face her “brother,” the AI terrorist who spearheaded the robot revolt, when her commander approaches her with a task.
Lopez was required to work on the production for a significant portion of the time while wearing the mechanical war gear that kept her alive on the far-off planet GR39. “Every every day, my adrenaline level was 150. Lopez compared it to doing a one-woman show on Netflix. “There was no set to ground you; you’re just there, by yourself, imagining everything because it’s all green screen.”
Nevertheless, the actor eventually found comfort in the pod. “Because I started out as a dancer and a lot of this experience involved choreography, I’m very comfortable with my body,” she remarked. “Once the scene’s beats were established, it had a rhythm, and all I had to do was incorporate my imagination, emotions, memories, and primal instincts into it.” Atlas would give his blessing.
SIMU LIU AS HARLAN
About the character
In a strange manner, harlan is atlas’ brother as well as the first ai terrorist, having been created by her mother to serve mankind. He left earth after being betrayed and waging a bloody war campaign against human troops; he has been waiting for his turn on planet gr39 for the last 28 years.
“Unfortunately, you know how some things go. He was created by a brilliant scientist to be a protector of mankind,” liu said to netflix. The Canadian actor built Harlan from the ground up, drawing inspiration from earlier ai portrayals in movies.
“I basically took inspiration for Harlan from every single artificial lifeform that I’ve ever seen in a movie or TV show, including Michael Fassbender in Prometheus, Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and a ton of other ones,” the guy stated.
Liu also made an effort to maintain the character’s sense of purpose. Prior to actually taking a bite off of the apple, Harlan exhibits a kind of innocent curiosity, the speaker remarked. “In order to make this character a compelling villain, I tried to use that as an anchor.”
Sterling K. Brown as COLONEL BANKS
About the character
The seasoned icn official colonel banks, who is leading the expedition to gr39, welcomes atlas’s participation on the journey without always considering her advice.
“You have to meld with these arc suits through a neuronic so that you’re half-machine, half-man something greater than the sum of its parts,” brown said to Netflix about how banks operate. The notion that these two things are integrating but not codependent has a lot of intriguing aspects. Sci-fi enthusiasts would likely find the healthy aspect of their interdependence fascinating.
Brown received his first academy award nomination for best supporting actor in the previous year’s American fiction after the filming concluded. In honour of their colleague’s accomplishment, the producers decided to include a small tribute: if you pay careful attention to the film, you could hear a background character congratulating banks on his nomination.
Gregory James Cohan As SMITH
About the character
Smith, who only appears in the movie as a voice within her mech suit, is Atlas’ AI friend. Despite Atlas’s numerous concerns, the initially antagonistic pair learns to collaborate as the movie goes on.
For the producers, Cohan’s casting was a fortunate accident. In order to have someone there for the entire exchange, we first wanted a temporary voice actor to sit in the studio and speak alongside Jen. We would worry about casting later, Peyton said to Netflix. “Greg came in and watched the entire film. The more we heard him portray Smith, the more we knew he was the ideal choice for the part.”
In the final version of the movie, Cohan plays two more parts: one as the voice of an ICN soldier and another as Colonel Banks’ ship’s pilot.
Atlas plot
Atlas centres on Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst who is intelligent but antisocial and doubts artificial intelligence. But when she decides to accompany a mission to apprehend a rebel robot, she discovers that trusting AI is the only way to protect humanity’s future from it.
She said to Netflix Tudum, “I loved that this is a big sci-fi action movie, but at its core, it’s a story of friendship and a love story, in a way.” “This is a different kind of love between two beings who connect in tragic circumstances and teach each other how to be more human,” the person said. “I always see everything as a love story.
The protagonist of Atlas (2024) is Atlas Shepherd, a misanthropic government analyst who sets out to eliminate Harlan, a formidable foe with whom she had a previous relationship.
Due to her inherent suspicion of artificial intelligence (AI), Atlas is first wary about Smith, the computer she will be compelled to work alongside on her mission. If Atlas is to have any chance of protecting mankind from the danger that Harlan poses, she will have to learn how to work with Smith and how to trust AI.
