Guy Pearce is having a busy 2022 and his next movie looks like it’s going to be a crazy ride. Paramount recently dropped the trailer for The Infernal Machine, which you can check out above. In addition to Pearce, the film will star Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), Jeremy Davies (Justified), and Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike).
In the trailer, we meet Guy Pearce’s Bruce Cogburn, an author who wrote a highly controversial book called The Infernal Machine. An obsessive fan begins to send Cogburn letters about his book and the potential danger that lies within it. Pearce is no stranger to mind-bending psychological thrillers like Memento, so here’s hoping this one reaches the same heights as the classic Christopher Nolan film.
This will be Guy Pearce’s second film of 2022. His last effort, the Liam Neeson-starring Memory, came out in spring to somewhat lukewarm reviews. 2022 also saw Pearce return to the role that launched his career — Mike Young in the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours. Neighbours has been running since 1985 and it finally aired its series finale earlier this year with a cascade of guest stars.
According to Twitter users and a recap from The Guardian, Guy Pearce was a standout in the final episode, bringing a great, nuanced performance to the series that started his acting career. Readers across the pond may be very familiar with Neighbours, but those who haven’t heard of it may be surprised to see how many careers started on the series. Along with Pearce, Russell Crowe, Margot Robbie, Jesse Spencer, Pia Miranda, Kylie Minogue, and many more had roles in the soap opera early in their careers.
Now Guy Pearce is a leading man and TV star in his own right. In 2021, Pearce starred in the Emmy-winning Mare of Easttown. His next big series is on the horizon too, with A Spy Among Friends set for a November 1 release this year.
A Spy Among Friends will co-star Damian Lewis alongside Guy Pearce in a story about the defection of British intelligence officer and KGB double agent Kim Philby (Pearce). The series will be told from the perspective of his close friend and M16 colleague Nicholas Elliott (Lewis). A Spy Among Friends should be another gripping miniseries from Pearce with plenty of mystery and intrigue.
Guy Pearce will also be starring in the Australian Disney+ series The Clearing, which is set for a 2023 release. The Clearing stars Theresa Palmer as a woman who must face her past to stop the plans of a frightening cult. Fortunately, we don’t have to wait all the way until 2023 to see Pearce’s next performance.
The Infernal Machine‘s release is just around the corner. If you want to check it out though, you might have to do a little work. It’ll release in select theaters, so it may not be playing in your area.
However, it’s also being released on-demand. So, if you’d prefer to stay home, you won’t have to try very hard at all. Make sure to check out Guy Pearce in The Infernal Machine on September 23.
