| ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS: Paris, 2054. Ilona Tasuiev (Romola Garai), a young and brilliant researcher is violently kidnapped. No ransom is demanded and initial attempts to find her are in vain. Avalon, a giant multinational corporation and her employer, wants her found at any cost. Dellenbach (Jonathan Pryce), Avalon's CEO, has requested that Officer Bartholomew Karas (Daniel Craig), a hostage retrieval specialist and the most controversial cop in the force, be in charge of the case... Karas finds a connection between Ilona and disgraced scientist Dr Jonas Muller (Ian Holm), and he meets Ilona's equally beautiful sister Bislane (Catherine McCormack). He builds up an intriguing picture of the missing girl and as the snow begins to fall he retraces her movements through the urban jungles that are the new Parisian districts: he is spied on and threatened, witnesses are assassinated and someone tries to kill him. The cop no longer knows if his quarry is victim or villain, angel or monster. To track down Ilona becomes a matter of life or death for Karas and perhaps for the whole of civilization. She holds the scientific key to a protocol which could determine the future of the human race; whether man can be made God: the Renaissance protocol. |
"Renaissance" is a breakthrough sci-fi thriller for a new millennium. Dare to enter a bold vision of the future in the tradition of "Blade Runner" and "Sin City"--drenched with state-of-the-art animation and a gripping story. It's 2054 Paris and the city lives in the shadow of corporate giant Avalon, which sells the irresistible promise of "ageless beauty". The sudden kidnapping of a gifted young scientist draws a tough-as-nails cop into a twisted underworld of corporate espionage, genetic research, and organized crime.
