Predestination was one of the most exciting films from this year’s SXSW Film Festival, and for months now we couldn’t wait to share it with the rest of you. The new film from the mind of Robert A. Heinlein (based on his short story “All You Zombies”) finally comes to theaters in America on January 9, 2015, but CraveOnline has scored the first seven minutes of the sci-fi thriller, and we are very happy to share them with you now.

Predestination stars Ethan Hawke as a time traveling lawman on a mission to stop a mad bomber. Along the way he meets a young man whose past, present and future is somehow intertwined with the hero and the villain, and whose life story may be the most unbelievable tale in human history. Sarah Snook co-stars and gives a knockout performance, but we can’t give away too many details without ruining the twisting, turning plot of the film, the latest from Australian directors The Spierig Bros. (Daybreakers, Undead).
