First Poster for Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Gravity’
Warner Bros. has released the first tease for director Alfonso Cuarón‘s upcoming sci-fi epic, Gravity. The studio unleashed the striking image on Twitter with the tagline “Don’t Let Go”.
The film stars George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, and we should find out even more soon; Warner Bros. plans to release the first trailer on Friday. For now, here’s the synopsis:
Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney). 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.
Cuarón is responsible for the utterly beautiful Children of Men (which ranks an impressive #290 on the global Flickchart), so I, for one, can’t wait for his next foray into science fiction.
Gravity is due for release on October 4.
