Listening to a passionate Alfonso Cuarón talk about his love of film and more specifically, the making of his forthcoming sci-fi adventure GRAVITY, during this years Comic Con was truly special. The release of the tense space thriller is almost upon us and invading theatres in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D from the 4th October and the UK from the 8th November.
Here we’ve a brand new IMAX featurette looking at the making of the film and how NASA aided the director’s vision. Also, we’ve another awesome television spot from the film only featuring Oscar-winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.
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.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
