Een iets informatievere synopsis van Gravity, de nieuwe sci-fi thriller van Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men, Y Tu Mamá También, Prisoner of Azkaban) is zojuist bekend gemaakt.
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (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. The only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space...
I had read a previous draft of the script and this is similar yet different (unless the synopsis is being deliberately misleading). What should be really interesting is to what Cuaron and Emmanuel Lubezki (working in 3D for the first time) have planned. There have been rumors that the film will be shot, or at least presented, in one-take, which would be fascinating to experience.
producer David Heyman said,
We’re using technology that’s never seen before. This film will be more immersive, I believe, than anything you’ve seen before. You will really feel like you are in space. It will not be an objective view of space, it will be an immersive view of space. And you know as you say, with Children of Men, he loves these long shots. It’s gonna be a really bold, bold film.
And Guillermo del Toro said of the film,
I think he would kill me if I reveal [what is so crazy about it], and in time it will be publicized, but I think that in the same way that he pushed the narrative in Children of Men…[they] are absolutely pushing a new boundary in filmmaking, completely mind-blowing. And they way they’re making [Gravity] will I think foverever change certain types of productions. The engineering and the ingenuity of the machines they’ve created to film that way is fantastic. I”m amazed at Alfonso in the last few movies, because he has completely transformed himself.
