Steve watches all of this with nothing but excitement for his unorthodox methods. In Netflix’s Spiderhead, Chris Hemsworth plays brilliant visionary Steve Abesti, who runs a futuristic penitentiary. Two inmates, Jeff and Lizzy, played by Miles Teller (Whiplash) and Jurnee Smollet (Birds of Prey), form a connection that tests the drug-loaded method.

“Escape from Spiderhead” first appeared in The New Yorker in 2010, and later in Saunders’ acclaimed 2013 collection Tenth of December (arguably the most celebrated short story collection of the past decade) and, based on the trailer, it would appear that Spiderhead hews pretty close to its source material. Set in the near future on a mysterious penitentiary/experimental research facility—presided over by a beaming and bespectacled Chris Hemsworth—whose subjects, all convicts, are administered various emotion-altering drugs in exchange for reduced sentences, Spiderhead follows Jeff (Miles Teller) as he tries to outmaneuver the system and save fellow prisoner/lab rat Rachel (Jurnee Smollet). The first trailer for Spiderhead, the hotly-anticipated (around the Lit Hub water cooler, at least) Netflix film based on George Saunders’ short story “ Escape From Spiderhead,” has been released and it looks like a hoot (a dark and disquieting hoot, but a hoot nonetheless).

Netflix has released the first trailer for Spiderhead, a dark sci-fi comedy starring Chris Hemsworth, which starts streaming on June 17th.

Based on a 2010 New Yorker short story by George Saunders, the film is directed by Joseph Kosinski (best-known for Tron: Legacy, Oblivion, and that Gears of War commercial) and also stars Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett as two inmates who form a connection in the aforementioned prison. If the first trailer is anything to go by, it looks like the movie will be something of a dark comedy, jumping back and forth between goofy and grim. And with new seasons of Love, Death, and Robots and Black Mirror also on the way, it appears that Netflix is really cornering the market on dystopic sci-fi.
