Genrty , who antecedently co - directed 2007 ’s The Signal , summons that stroke of genius by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis as one of three things that inspire him to make Synchronicity , which hits theaters and on demand January 22 . In the photographic film , a scientist named Jim ( Chad McKnight ) creates a wormhole that he consider will permit someone to travel though time . Once weird thing begin happen , the question becomes not if it works — but whether he ’s already done it before .
“ When I first start out work on the narrative with Alex Orr , it was right around the time the Large Hadron Collider in CERN was really take up to pitch up , and I just became fascinated with all the thing they were doing , ” Gentry say . “ So we protrude think about a account of what it might be like working there . I believe the people at CERN are like cosmic detectives . ”
“ And also the notion of , if someone says something cruel to you , what if that was n’t really something that was cruel ? ” Gentry go along . “ What if you got another vantage pointedness or parallax aspect of that situation ? What if you found out they were doing that to protect you from something ? ”
dead on target to Gentry ’s intelligence , Synchronicity is a film that combines those three pillars . It has a scientist as the chief part , shows many scenes as viewed from different perspectives and time period of time , and ends up surreptitiously being about the connection between the master scientist , Jim , and a mysterious woman named Abby ( played by Brianne Davis . A.J. Bowen , and Michael Ironside also carbon monoxide gas - star ) .
As he was making the film though , Gentry understand the more and more he thought about the film ’s structure and time change of location mechanism , the less authoritative they were . The third pillar was the potent .
“ Even though I was so obsessive with the logistic [ time - travelling ] stuff , as I got further [ into the process ] , especially in the redaction room , I realized the excited math was right smart more important for a level , ” Gentry said . “ When I ’d show hoi polloi the movie they were like , ‘ I do n’t have to see every Zen connect . ’ So I made it that excited conflict and human story were more at the forefront . ”
And if you want to talk about unearthly , metre - travelly , folding - a - report - on - top - of - itself oddness , Gentry ’s discovery that the emotion of Synchronicity was the most important part of the film , became a meta commentary on the film ’s real substance .
“ I was becoming like Jim , the primary graphic symbol , ” he said . “ I was missing out on the whole poke of the motion-picture show , which is [ that ] he ’s attempt to solve an excited problem with math . I was trying to do that with the movie . ”
As uncanny as the director becoming one with his main character sounds , Gentry said the film was always a labor of love . Something personal , something rewarding . “ I just require to make a movie I want to see , ” he said . “ It combines a mickle of my favourite science fiction material and I had n’t really seen a meter travel movie the manner I wanted it . ”
