Another Anxiety-Inducing Clip From Alfonso Cuaron’s GRAVITY – “Drifting”
WB has released yet another terrifying clip from Alfonso Cuaron’s (Children of Men, Prisoner of Azkaban) sci-fi thriller Gravity starring Sandra Bullock. I’d like a large popcorn and a bottle of clonazepam please! The film centers on an astronaut who attempts to make her way back to Earth after a satellite crash sets off a chain reaction of further crashes. The film will make its North American debut at TIFF this September.
In the film, hitting 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on October 4, Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
