ArtNewsPress : Amazon Prime Video in May is dropping the series premiere of Greg Daniels’ (The Office) new sci-fi comedy, Upload, on May 1. Robbie Amell stars as Nathan Brown, “who winds up in the hospital following a self-driving car accident, needing to quickly decide his fate. After a rushed deliberation with his shallow girlfriend Ingrid (Allegra Edwards), he chooses to be uploaded to her family’s luxurious virtual afterlife, the Horizen company’s Lakeview,” according to a synopsis from Amazon.
On the movie front, the streamer is releasing the Elton John biopic Rocketman on May 22, which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, titled “I’m Gonna Love Me Again.” In our review of Rocketman, we call it “a compelling, exhilarating and heartbreaking journey that delivers everything it promises and then some.”
If you’re not a Prime member, you can sign up for a 30-day free Amazon Prime trial and reap all the benefits, including streaming Amazon Video. That means you have the opportunity to check out every new video this month without having to pay for it.
