Dan Stevens can act in German?

Language detail: Ich bin dein Mensch means something more like "I am your human being," but the distinction is lost in English.

Right now, though, I sort of am more in the mood for outer space than for AI, androids, and robots -- only something new, not Star Wars or Star Trek.

Dan Stevens appears to be fluent in German. Watch the first 30 seconds of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioFMvGu05_k

This is the U.S. trailer. What I posted initially was the UK trailer, which edges a bit more into the philosophical musings of the film. There’s a different flavor to the U.S. and UK versions that I found interesting.

Why Dan Stevens was cast as the lead in a German film, I don’t know, but it sets up an amusing exchange in the early going. The woman has undergone extensive psychological testing and her AI test partner has been designed and programmed to be her ideal match. She immediately notices that Tom speaks with an English accent and she asks why. Funny scene.
