In the series, Bell measures the groundbreaking accomplishments of Cosby versus his survivors who accused him of sexually assaulting them after drugging them. When asked how he felt reaching out to survivors and asking them to participate, Bell said, “I think the only thing we could do is be honest about what we were trying to create.”

In a future near enough to be recognisable and far enough away to be believable, scientist George Almore (Theo James) works alone at an aging remote outpost hidden in the snowy forests of Japan. His goal is to create a new artificial intelligence for the Arm Corporation which funds his work. But secretly he has his own agenda: create a realistic robot capable of taking on the persona of his deceased wife Jules (Stacy Martin) who died in a horrific car crash that George survived.
Luckily George has Jules’ memories backed up in an Archive – a storage device created by the Archive Corporation that enables a loved one up to 200 hours interaction with the deceased as a means to come to terms with the loss and say a final goodbye. But George has good reason to invalidate the warranty by tinkering with the imposing black monolith (imagine if Stanley Kubrick...

A widower in the near future looks to use AI to bring his late wife back to life in the new movie Archive, and with the sci-fi film out now on VOD and Digital, we caught up with writer/director Gavin Rothery in a new Q&a feature to discuss the real-life origin for Archive that took place nearly a decade ago, filming in frigid temperatures in Hungary, how his concept art background helped him create the movie's stunning futuristic visuals, and how being a stand-in on Shaun of the Dead helped influence his own approach to filmmaking.
Thanks for taking the time to catch up with us, and congratulations on Archive! How and when did you first come up with the idea for this film?
Gavin Rothery: It all came from a rough weekend I had back in 2011. I was spending the weekend tidying up my flat and both...

In “Archive,” an isolated scientist methodically pursues an artificial-intelligence ideal, developing a sequence of human-android beings and recycling their various parts until the ultimate prototype is achieved. In his handsome debut feature, writer-director Gavin Rothery follows a similarly nifty process of assembly and reassembly, repurposing elements from assorted sci-fi successes — a bit of “Ex Machina” here, some stray “Black Mirror” pieces there — to form a fluent, functional one of his particular design. The sleek result, like the scientist’s hi-tech Frankenstein creation, impressively looks and sounds the part, without quite having a soul of its own. That’s enough to make “Archive” a compelling calling card for the British freshman, with the promise of more advanced models to come.
Originally set to premiere at this year’s pandemic-disrupted South By Southwest festival, “Archive” goes on digital release tomorrow Stateside, where it’ll count on fans of former “Divergent” franchise star...
