‘Atlas’ is set to premiere tomorrow on Netflix and this science fiction action thriller drama is a highly anticipated one. Earlier in ‘The Mother’ Jennifer Lopez fought her demons deep in the Alaskan wilderness and now she’s launching into orbit to face her foe. Here’s everything to know about ‘Atlas’.
What’s ‘Atlas’ about?
Atlas Shepherd (Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.
Who stars in ‘Atlas’?
Jennifer Lopez stars as Atlas Shepherd who is the daughter of the scientist whose AI experiment ushered the world into a new era. Twenty-eight years after that technological breakthrough, Atlas is a counter-terrorism analyst working for the International Coalition of Nations (ICN). When her superior approaches her with a mission, she heads out into the field to confront her “brother” — the AI terrorist who led the robot revolution.
Simu Liu plays the role of Harlan, the first AI terrorist — and, in a twisted way, Atlas’ brother, created by her mother to serve humanity. In the wake of his betrayal and a devastating military campaign against human forces, he fled Earth and has spent the last 28 years biding his time on planet GR39.
Sterling K. Brown is Colonel Banks, the commanding officer of the mission to GR39, a veteran ICN official who accepts Atlas’ presence on the voyage without always listening to her input.
Other cast members include Gregory James Cohen, Abraham Popoola, Lana Parrilla, and Mark Strong.
