The synopsis reads: "In a not-so-distant future, humankind has learned to alter their biological makeup - some natural, some surgically. Celebrity performance artist Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) and his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux) showcase the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Meanwhile, Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, tracks their movements, revealing a mysterious group whose mission is to use Saul's notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution."
The film's premise is pretty out-there, and the trailer's weird and gruesome visuals tell you that this will be another horror classic courtesy of Cronenberg himself.
Crimes of the Future will premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, where it will compete for the much sought-after Palme d'Or.
The film's production company, Neon, is known for releasing many other modern classics, including I, Tonya, Pig, Spencer, Parasite, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire.
