British filmmaker Spencer Brown is making his feature film debut with the new sci-fi AI thriller, T.I.M starring Georgina Campbell (Barbarian), Eamon Farren (The Witcher), Mark Rowley (The Last Kingdom), Amara Karan (Doctor Who), and Nathaniel Parker (The Inspector Lynley Mysteries).
T.I.M. will be released in theaters and on demand January 12th, and the synopsis reads: “Inspired by ’90s stalker thrillers, the film follows Abi (Georgina Campbell), a prosthetics engineer, and her husband Paul (Mark Rowley). As they adapt to a new life outside the city, Abi’s latest project, the A.I. humanoid T.I.M. (Eamon Farren), initially appears as the perfect aid. Programmed to serve only her, it transforms into a perilous obsession, determined to replace Paul.”
We were joined on the Popternative show by Eamon Farren and Mark Rowley to disucss their roles in the new film and reading the script for the first time. For Mark, he explains that T.I.M. passed his “coffee test.” “If I can read a script with just one coffee, it’s a good script,” he says.
For Eamon, the blending of genres really grabbed his attention when he first read it: “I didn’t want to stop reading it which is a good sign. [It had] the AI elements which is the fear stuff, but it also putters along like a great 90s throwback thriller.”
They both also talk a bit about their roles on television, with Eamon playing Cahir on Netflix’s The Witcher, and Mark playing Finan in The Last Kingdom. Watch the full conversation below.
T.I.M. will be released in theaters and On Demand on Friday, January 12th.
