Trailer: Self/Less with Ben Kingsley and Ryan Reynolds

Actors love body-switching roles. In “Self/Less,” Ryan Reynolds takes on his second (after the disappointing “The Change-Up”), one of four films he will appear in this year. In this film, as in the Steve Martin/Lily Tomlin comedy All of Me), a wealthy person who is dying arranges to transfer to a new body. The twist here is that the spirit of the receiver body starts to resurface.

Reynolds appears in another body-switching movie this year. In “Criminal,” the memories and skill of a CIA agent are transferred to a convict.
