    By Russ Fischer February 12th, 2014

    Here's the latest full trailer for Wally Pfister's Transcendence, starring Johnny Depp as an AI designer who is killed in "real" life, but preserved as a digital consciousness.

    Johnny Depp Merges With The Machine In New 'Transcendence' Stills

    By Angie Han December 12th, 2013

    It really says something about Johnny Depp's career that his role in Transcendence as a megalomaniacal digital god (or something) is the least weird he's looked in a while.
