'The Circle' Trailer Looks An Awful Lot Like Google (cnet.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the strange-coincidence dept.

theodp writes: If you never got around to reading Dave Eggers' novel The Circle, the tale of a powerful tech company that bears a more-than-passing resemblance to Google (and has an Apple spaceship-like HQ) is coming to the big screen and the first trailer is out. The film has a release date of spring 2017, and stars Tom Hanks, Emma Watson and John Boyega. Remember, sharing is caring!

    I'll walk out after 15 mins. I really tried to like the book, but the hip references to modern tech felt absolutely kickable.. like watching a Sandra Bullock movie in a similar vein. Sorry. I'll pass.

    Little known fact; the movie title is an abbreviation from the original title "The Circlejerk".
