Thanks to Bankside Films we may watch the official movie trailer of The Philosophers, a mysterious upcoming science-fiction thriller movie written and directed by John Huddles:

THE PHILOSOPHERSPlot:
“At an international school in Jakarta, a brilliant but mysterious philosophy teacher challenges his class of twenty graduating seniors to undertake one final thought experiment in order to complete the requirements for graduation. The experiment is to be the most extreme they have ever had to face. Using the power of logic alone, the students must choose which of them would be worthy of a place in an underground shelter and reboot the human race in the event of a nuclear apocalypse. The shelter only has space for ten people, which means certain death for those that are not chosen.”

Does the human race really deserve to survive its own apocalypse? Anyway, philosophy just got interesting thanks to this film!
