Together, they plan to destroy the computer network that enslaves mankind.
Doom
The next film from director Annabel Jankel is also set for release on May 17th, 2019. In Hellbent, a disgraced priestess named Nola (Saoirse Ronan) travels to the Scottish Highlands to settle a debt that she feels she deserves. Once there, she aligns herself with a group of mercenaries led by a mysterious man named MacLeod (Pattinson) in order to finance the rest of her climb to power. Her goal is to use a dark artifact called the Cudgel to transform herself into the Goddess of War, thus ensuring her place in the afterworld. Of course, nothing is as it seems, and Nola must fight for survival amongst the mercenaries and the otherworldly creatures that roam the Scottish Highlands in search of treasure.
