Speaking about the film, Scott added Ex Machina is: “worthy of mention in the same breath as Blade Runner and The Terminator”.
“Whatever this modestly scaled film lacked in budgetary heft, it more than made up for in sleekly expressive production design, provocative ideas about the fine line between man and machine,” he added.
Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time the Malahide native has starred with Alicia Vikander as they appeared in 2012’s Anna Karenina.
