Superintelligence (film)

Nothing extraordinary ever happens to Carol Peters, so when she starts getting snarky backtalk from her TV, phone and microwave, she thinks she’s being punked or losing her mind. In fact, the world’s first superintelligence has selected her for observation, taking over her life…with a bigger, more ominous plan to take over everything. Now Carol is humanity’s last chance before this artificial intelligence-with-an-attitude decides to pull the plug.

The film started principal production right after McCarthy wrapped filming The Kitchen, on July 16, 2018,[3] and wrapped in August 31, 2018.[9] Some scenes were filmed at Georgia Tech.[10][11]

The film will debut on HBO Max, after Falcone felt the film would be better suited on a streaming platform.[12] The film was originally scheduled to be released theatrically on December 25, 2019, but was moved five days earlier to December 20, 2019,[13][14] before being moved to late 2020.[15]
