WATCH: Tom Hanks and Emma Watson tap into surveillance concerns in The Circle

The Circle explores the idea that, given the amount of surveillance and the ubiquity of social media sharing, the unexamined life may well and truly be a thing of the past.

Hammy one-liners and snippets of some kind of lecture from Tom Hanks' Steve Jobs-meets-Mark Zuckerberg character means that this trailer doesn't give a whole lot away. Nonetheless, with the social media age that we live in, The Circle is likely to be an interesting study of contemporary society.
