Soon, we are likely to live in The future of the trash driven by AI, very much to the pleasure of people like OEO rousing. However, before that frightening scenario, we can get an overview of how it could be through Chris Prat's upcoming "Mercy". In the scientific thriller, the Starvala "Guardians of the Galaxy" plays a character accused of killing his wife who is forced to undergo a trial of an AI judge. To improve his performance, Pratt asked him to be tied to the chair and said that the "claustrophobia" he felt as a result was a great help. Did it actually make a good movie? We have to see when the film finally arrives in 2026, but at least we know that Pratt was everything in this.

"Mercy" is directed by the Russian-Caserian director Timur Bekmambetov, who had previously directed it "Wanted" in 2008. (He also produced Ice Cube's "War of the Worlds", one of the worst scientific films in recent history.) The film takes place in 2029 Los Angeles and throws Pratt as Chris Raven, a detective who must debate his innocence during a 90-minute trial chaired by an advanced AI judge, shown by Rebecca Ferguson.

Appearing the comic strip in 2025 in the newuork (through People), Pratt confirmed that he had asked to be tightened in the Real chair in his trial scenes. "I asked them to limit me to that," he explained during the panel showing his co-starva-star Kali Reis and Beckmbetov. “I didn't have to pretend to be tied.

In "Mercy", Chris Raven is tasked with using footage and databases to gather evidence that they can release. The detective should ensure that his wines fall below 92% of the winer of the wines; Otherwise, he will be executed at the end of the trial. The ironic turn is that Raven was an agent and designer of mercy technology and was responsible for sending the first trial suspect. Now, this mechanical technology acts as a judge, a jury and the power to decide on its own destiny of Raven.

In order to increase the tension for this intensive scientific thriller, Chris Pratt seems to have intended to be physically restrained throughout the period. As the actor explained during his appearance on Cuyork, "there is a certain level of claustrophobia that you only naturally feel when you are tied to something, and it was useful, in fact." He continued to explain that the crew had actually tried to show him how to get out only if he really needed it, but he remained dedicated. "They said," Well, if you want to go out, only, pop, you do this, "he explained. "Like, I don't want to go out. I want you to lock me so I can't get out. It would be useful to me in giving this performance that I am completely stuck here."

Whether taking such measures has actually helped the film remains to be seen, but it is an interesting insight into the film. Hopefully, Pratt's commitment will also be enough to ensure "Mercy is better than the latest project Timur Beckmbetov was involved in doing ...

While things are played through footage seen through the eyes of Chris Raven, they can sound an effective way to tighten the tension in "Mercy", it also sounds a little too reminiscent of the "War of the Worlds", which is similarly played through footage of low levels of desktop. Let's just say that this particularly notorious science thriller since 2025 was not the most exciting thing to see, although "mercy" will not be limited to filming during Kovid-19 lock. We also hope that Timur Beckmbetov has mercy on viewers by keeping this film without the same Shameless, and frankly bizarre, accommodation of products shown in "War of Worlds".

On the other hand, having events that are played through shots on the film screens, actually worked well in the thriller "Search" of Anesh Chaganti in 2018 (produced by Beckmbetov) and his A well -known but exciting sequel "missing". But given the over-the-top and otherwise ridiculous premise for "mercy", the chances seem to be against what is happening here, whether Pratt was physically restrained or not. However, even if the "mercy" does not fall out so well, we can at least predict that the Pratt is tied to a chair for 90 minutes like His punishment for acting at Jurassic World Dominion.

"Mercy" is due to open in theaters on January 23, 2026.
