Kin (scifi movie trailer).

Kin‘s a SF movie set in the current day about a young teenager in a dodgy urban environment with a criminal low-life family who finds a mysterious alien weapon (well, either alien or left by time travellers – jury is still out), and proceeds to use it to right a few wrongs.

This one stars James Franco, who seems to be on a bit of a run at the moment for starring as the bad nut job in SF flicks.

Hey, never get in the way of a kid and his blaster.

Kin hits the cinemas 31st August 2018.

Here’s the official blurb:

KIN, a crime thriller with a sci-fi twist, is the story of an unexpected hero destined for greatness. Chased by a vengeful criminal (James Franco) and a gang of otherworldly soldiers,​ a recently released ex-con (Jack Reynor) and his adopted teenage brother (Myles Truitt) are forced to go on the run with a weapon of mysterious origin as their only protection.
