‘Atlas’: Jennifer Lopez, Sterling K. Brown And Simu Liu Star In Netflix Sci-Fi Film

Get ready for a stellar cast in Jennifer Lopez’s new Netflix science fiction film Atlas. The first full trailer has just been released, giving us a glimpse of the captivating performances by Lopez, Sterling K. Brown, and Simu Liu.

Brad Peyton directed the film, which was written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite. Many viewers will see Lopez in a different role than they’ve seen her in before.

Here’s the description:

Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez) is not your typical protagonist. She’s a brilliant yet misanthropic data analyst with a profound distrust of artificial intelligence. Her journey takes a thrilling turn when she embarks on a mission to capture a renegade robot, a robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when the mission takes an unexpected twist, her only chance of saving humanity’s future from AI is to place her trust in it.

“The heart of Atlas is really about trust and how difficult it is to trust people,” Peyton told Netflix’s Tudum. “Atlas is told through the lens of a woman who’s learning to trust after undergoing a trauma that’s upended her life. It reminds us how we have to have deep, meaningful relationships in our lives in one way, shape, or form. You can’t do everything by yourself; you have to choose to trust people at a certain point and let them in.”

The film also stars Gregory James Cohan, Abraham Popoola, Lana Parrill, and Mark Strong.

Atlas is produced by Brad Peyton and Jeff Fierson for ASAP Entertainment; Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell for Safehouse Pictures; Jennifer Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, and Benny Medina for Nuyorican Productions; and Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter for Berlanti/Schechter Films.

Atlas premieres on Netflix on May 24.
