Overview

• The trailer introduces an LAPD detective who wakes strapped to an execution chair with 90 minutes to prove his innocence to AI Judge Maddox, voiced by Rebecca Ferguson.
• Release timing is set for January 2026, with outlets reporting either January 23 or January 26 for the theatrical debut, including IMAX and 3D screenings.
• Chris Pratt said the production was staged like a play using 60-minute takes, and he performed while literally restrained to heighten claustrophobia.
• The film used virtual production techniques on The Volume, reinforcing a monitor-driven aesthetic that centers the AI judiciary system.
• Producer Charles Roven credited writer Marco van Belle with pitching the concept, as Bekmambetov described the ticking-clock structure as a metaphor for today’s rapid AI adoption.
