Mad About the Machine

Have you ever felt so close to a technology like, say, Siri that you have felt like you loved it?

Such a question is at the longing heart of Spike Jonze’s upcoming Her.

Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, and the voice of Scarlett Johansson, this Nov. 20 release centers on a lonely, soon-to-be-divorced fella, a writer, who gets a new, custom OS named Samantha – an OS so unflinchingly human that he begins to fall for her and she for him.

Ah, modern-day love.

Click here for a trailer and for a few thoughts from Jonze himself regarding this much-anticipated new project.
