The ‘Baby Driver’ actor is seen struggling with a personality disorder in the sci-fi drama directed by Bill Oliver.
Manis Film has released the first trailer for Jonathan, starring Baby Driver and The Fault in Our Stars actor Ansel Elgort. In the sci-fi drama, Elgort’s character is troubled with a disorder called single-body multi-consciousness that divides his mind into two personalities with disparate agendas.
The sci-fi film is directed by Bill Oliver and also stars Matt Bomer, Sharp Objects’ Patricia Clarkson as Jonathan’s doctor, and Suki Waterhouse as his girlfriend, Elena.
“How are things between you and John?” Jonathan’s doctor asks him during one of their visits, referring to his interior other half.
Jonathan conveys his views with his ulterior persona by recording himself on a video camera, where both halves of him recount their respective activities to each other.
“Work was good,” he tells his other self. “But I’ve been feeling a little tired lately. Have you?”
Although the pair seem to cohabit the same body in relative harmony, the trailer takes over all control when one part of Jonathan learns that the other has a girlfriend. The final moments see Elgort’s character warring with himself over who should love Elena.
“I don’t like it when the two of you aren’t getting along,” Clarkson’s character warns him. “It’s not safe.”
Jonathan will be ready to hit the theaters on November 16.
