Alcon Entertainment and Syncopy in association with Evolutionary Pictures and Straight Up Films are in pre-production on the epic Warner Bros. Pictures sci-fi thriller feature film "Transcendence". Shooting will take place in Los Angeles and Boston beginning in April, 2013. Two-time Primetime Emmy Award winner and four-time Casting Society of America Artios Award winner John Papsidera is casting the film's starring and co-starring roles in Los Angeles. Additional principal actor casting will be taking place in Boston. The background performers and stand-ins will be cast locally in Boston. Experienced film crew members and production staff are also being hired locally in Massachusetts. "Transcendence" follows a scientist who uploads his brain into a supercomputer after he's assassinated by terrorists.
Starring in "Transcendence" is the superlatively talented and incalculably popular actor, film producer, and musician Johnny Depp playing the role of Will. This will be the first of two films that Depp will shoot back-to-back, the other being a crime thriller called "Black Mass" also shooting in Boston. Only after completion on these two films, would Depp concentrate on reprising Captain Jack Sparrow in Walt Disney Pictures "Pirates of the Caribbean 5". Johnny Depp's staggering acting accomplishments include being nominated for three Academy Awards, ten Golden Globe Award nominations with one win, and four Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations with a win.
