Yesterday EA and BioWare teased a live-action Anthem short from director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) and now the full thing has been released. Entitled “Conviction,” the short is essentially a trailer for a movie that doesn’t exist (yet). We get a taste of the Anthem universe’s backstory, and glimpse snippets of a story about a young woman who’s rescued after surviving in the dangerous alien wilderness for years.  Of course, there’s more to her than initially meets the eye. Check out the full short below.

Cool stuff! I’ll admit, I’m a bit concerned Anthem’s story may not be as compelling as some past BioWare games, but clearly they’ve put a lot of thought into their new universe and, in the right hands, some interesting stories could be told with it. After watching Conviction, I’d totally be up for watching a Neill-Blomkamp-produced movie or limited series. What do you think? Did the short make you look at the Anthem universe in a new light?
