Ryan Reynolds' 'Self/less' release date moved up

Los Angeles: Actor Ryan Reynolds's science fiction thriller "Self/less" has been given a new release date.

"Self/less" had originally been scheduled to open against "Mission: Impossible 5" on July 31, but Focus Features has pre-poned it up to July 10, The Hollywood Reporter said.

The thriller from "Mirror Mirror" director Tarsem Singh explores the dangerous implications of technological advancement.

Ben Kingsley stars as an affluent aristocrat who seeks to stave off his death from cancer by having his consciousness implanted into a younger body (Reynolds).

He soon discovers that the corporation who organised the procedure is seeking to cover up the frightening true origin of this new body.

Michelle Dockery and Victor Garber also appear in "Self/less", while Matthew Goode plays a menacing member of the group behind the cover-up.
