A24 Films has been nailing it with their films lately, including Ex Machina, A Most Violent Year and Slow West, to name a few and it looks like they have another interesting concept on their ways with this new trailer for Equals.

[column size=one_half position=first ] Christopher Nolan is again enjoying a moment of glory at the box office, thanks to his gift for taking the obvious and flipping it in its ear. Last Updated: November 10, 2014

Aussie writer/director David Michôd burst onto the scene in 2010 with Animal Kingdom, a sweeping family-crime drama set in Melbourne’s grimy criminal underbelly, which had all the critics lauding him as the greatest thing to come out of Australia since somebody convinced Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze to dress up in drag and drive across the Outback.
