The narration seems to have been read by either Ian McKellen or Thomas Hardy. There is black-and-white footage of a man with scraggly long hair and his wrists seem to be bound. He is walking in the beach at night and he drops to his knees as the waves surround him. The narrator indicates that this man doesn't know who he is, but soon he will know. "Men become lost. Men vanish. Men become erased...and reborn." Then we see another man holding a light of some sort (flashlight, lantern), and his lips are seemingly stitched together. The title reads: "Soon he will know" which appears on the screen and then slowly each word fades away leaving us with the word "Soon."
What in creation is this? All we know is that this is Bad Robot production and it is perhaps produced, if not directed, by J.J. Abrams. Considering his directorial plate is full now with "Star Wars Episode VII" and a new "Star Trek" feature in the horizon, it is hard to say if this is a new project he had worked on already and still in post-production or if it is something he is currently filming with some other director, or if this is a sneak peek at the new "Star Wars" film (I somehow doubt it). Whatever it is, it has piqued my interest just like J.J's "Super 8" teaser from 2010. Check it out below.
