‘Robot sex’ movie Zoe with Christina Aquilera bought by Amazon: How to watch, release date

Robot Sex is coming to screen near you very soon.

Recent films like Her portrayed a man falling in love with an artificial voice (although it was Scarlett Johansson), while Ex Machina warned of the dangerous seductive lure of beautiful yet deadly artificial life. 

New movie Zoe boldly portrays what could happen when science enables man to create robots who can think, feel and have sexual intercourse.

The movie includes Christina Aguilera as a robot prostitute with Lord of the Rings star Miranda Otto as a madame.

Aguilera plays robo sex worker Jewel and lobbied director Drake Doremus for the role. The science fiction drama also features SPECTRE Bond girl Lea Seydoux and British actor Theo James.

After months of secrecy, Zoe just received its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York this weekend.

With buzz building around the controversial movie, it has already been quickly snapped up by Amazon for distribution and new reports reveal it will be avaialble on Amazon Prime.

ROBOT SEX MOVIE ZOE: DIRECTOR REVEALS HOW CHRISTINA AGUILERA GOT THE ROLE

Deadline reported: “Amazon Prime has acquired exclusive rights to Drake Doremus’ Zoe ahead of its April 21 premiere as the Tribeca Film Festival’s Centerpiece title.

“Amazon’s deal covers US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Italy, Australia and New Zealand and will hit Prime this summer.”

The film examines what happens when human start to fall in love and lust with “synthetics” like Jewel.

Will humans inevitably prefer an artificially engineered ideal or will the synthetics become more human and develop flaws?

The Hollywood Reporter: “Synthetics are already everywhere, but they’re easily distinguishable from flesh and blood. Some look pretty close to human (especially prostitutes, like Christina Aguilera’s robo-sexworker Jewels.

“Drake Doremus’ Zoe may be cited as a kind of coming-of-age moment: the point at which self-respecting arthouse films in the genre dipped their toes into the sort of emotional button-pushing employed by their old-fashioned multiplex peers. A human/robot love story that is less deeply imaginative than Spike Jonze’s Her and less heartbreaking than Doremus’ own Like Crazy, the picture is nevertheless a beautifully acted, affecting drama that teases some questions society may need to answer sooner than we expect.”

The Guardian (3 stars): “Zoe is an attractively made yet dour and often shallow look at love that muddles along when it should be searing a hole. It’s an impressive shell that needs a bigger heart.

“As with Doremus’s last film Newness, this world of easily accessible casual sex becomes emotionally destructive but the script doesn’t get much further than that hardly earth-shattering conclusion. Although it does allow us to see a robo-brothel with a strange, underwhelming cameo from Christina Aguilera as an android of the night.”
