Amazon Studios has unveiled the trailer for the upcoming sci-fi film "Foe," featuring Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal, set for a U.S. theater release on October 6.

Directed and produced by Garth Davis, known for "Lion," the movie is an adaptation of Iain Reid's novel, centered on marriage and identity in an uncertain world. The narrative presents humanity facing off against an artificial alternative.

The story is set in 2065 and follows the lives of a married couple, Hen (Ronan) and Junior (Mescal), residing on a secluded family farm. Their tranquility is disrupted by an unexpected guest (Pierre), arriving with a unique proposition.


Junior is chosen to live on an experimental space station orbiting Earth. However, Hen won't be alone when he leaves. She'll be accompanied by a robotic version of her husband, impacting her profoundly.

The film is set to premiere at the New York Film Festival and will subsequently release in Canada, Australia, the UK, and Ireland.

Directed by Davis and co-written with Reid, the production involves various producers and executive producers. The trailer evokes comparisons to "Beyond the Sea," an episode from the series "Black Mirror."
