New Images From Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Gravity’ Featuring Sandra Bullock & George Clooney
Warner Bros. has released several beautiful new images from Alfonso Cuarón’s upcoming sci-fi thriller Gravity. 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. Gravity has been my most anticipated movie for the past two years and I cannot wait to see this at TIFF in September. Gravity will open the Venice Film Festival before hitting Toronto and then will open in limited release on October 4.
Sandra Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, 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.
