Staged as a first-person shooter, according to IndieWire the film will be an “ultra-realistic, multiplayer FPS game” that follows a group of mercenaries using AI-generated baby faces as avatars to conceal their identity.

“Tasked with entering mansions of the rich and powerful and leaving nothing behind, players must explore every rabbit hole before time runs out,” the synopsys teases.

Produced through Korine’s multimedia design collective EGLRD, the film reportedly incorporates AI and gaming technology which enables audiences some autonomy over the narrative, where they can “remix the storyline”.

Burial’s work on the score marks his second venture into producing movie soundtracks, following his recent work on Andrea Arnold’s captivating 2024 drama Bird, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
