Passengers: Titanic in space? (trailer).
Here’s the first trailer for the original science fiction movie Passengers (from Sony Pictures), featuring those ever reliable SFF stalwarts Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt (complete with Michael Sheen as a creepy robot bartender and Laurence Fishburne as a hoary old star-ship captain).
The official blurb reads:
Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are two passengers onboard a spaceship transporting them to a new life on another planet. The trip takes a deadly turn when their hibernation pods mysteriously wake them 90 years before they reach their destination. As Jim and Aurora try to unravel the mystery behind the malfunction, they begin to fall for each other, unable to deny their intense attraction… only to be threatened by the imminent collapse of the ship and the discovery of the truth behind why they woke up.
Looks well done – and to be honest, it’s just nice to get a film in the genre that’s not a reboot/sequel of a classic film or another comic-book. Should be hitting a cinema near you Christmas this year (2016).
