SIMULANT – directed by April Mullen – written by Ryan Christopher Churchill – SPOILERS ⁓
This is the story of Faye (Jordana Brewster) and Evan (Robbie Amell), a wealthy married couple who purchased simulant replicas of themselves as a means of life-extension. They periodically transfer their accumulated experiences to the inactive dopplegangers, so that when they die, none of those memories are lost. As Faye explains to Evan while persuading him to buy the thing: “We activate them and now they’re us…Our love lives live on.” Select memories can be redacted, but the manufacturer advises against it. Faye, without notifying any authorities, activates Evan’s doppleganger after Evan dies in an automobile accident, and removes any memories of his death, or of being a simulant.
