Prime Video has released an official trailer for Bliss. The upcoming science-fiction film stars Owen Wilson as a man who is shown by a scientist (Salma Hayek) that his world is really a computer simulation. Is it like The Matrix? I don’t know. Find out for yourself by watching the trailer below.
I know Wilson is well-known for his comedic roles in films like Meet the Parents and Wedding Crashers, but I honestly think I’m more interested in him when he’s doing dramas. Midnight in Paris featured a great performance from the man behind the “Wow”, and Bliss looks to be replicating that dramatic sweet spot that Wilson is able to effortlessly create.
Side note: so is Bill Nye (the Science Guy) like a full-time actor now? He popped up in last year’s Mank and now it looks like he’s going to have a supporting role in Bliss. I actually don’t mind Nye’s acting. He is certainly not as bad as some former TV personalities who have tried to make the leap to acting.
Plot Synopsis:
Bliss begins streaming on February 5, 2021 on Prime Video.
