THE MIDNIGHT SKY TRAILER
We are going sf all the way today, starting with the trailer for Netflix new post apocalyptic movie THE MIDNIGHT SKY in which George Clooney plays Augustine Lofthouse, a lonely scientist in the Arctic, who races to stop astronaut Sully (Felicity Jones) and her fellow astronauts from returning home to a mysterious global catastrophe. Kyle Chandler, Demian Bichir and Ethan Peck also star in the film which will stream on Netflix two days before Christmas, December 23rd, directed by George Clooney as well.This is his first movie role in four years.
EPIC SKYLINES SF TRAILER
A little bit on a cheaper scale than the one above is science fiction action adventure SKYLINES which is currently playing over in UK at the FrightFest starring Rhona Mitra, Alexander Siddig and James Cosmo.
When a virus threatens to turn the now earth dwelling friendly alien hybrids against humans, Captain Rose Corley (Lindsey Morgan) must lead a team of elite mercenaries on a mission to the alien world in order to save what's left of humanity.
Can we just drop Clooney into the Arctic for real and just leave him there?
ReplyDeleteHe is horrible, even looks horrible now...
DeleteI'll be passing on both of these. I'm not a huge fan of science fiction and I really dislike space movies!! My husband recently watched the space movie with Sandra Bullock and I got anxiety just listening to it from the other room. Imagine being lost in space? Ugh!!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't seen that one, but I do prefer fantasy sf to science sf. Space operas are my thing. I'm having difficulties translating To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars currently as it is filled to the brim with scientific terms and words connected with space travel, FTL, thrusts, space phenomena, technical aspects of ships and flight, gravity etc. I literally need a degree in physics to translate it.
DeleteYikes, if I can help with some wording, let me know. :) That reminds me of when I was in Greece. There was an earthquake and we're watching the news. I understood everything except the scientific term that basically meant "tsunami". So glad that I missed that one word otherwise I would have panicked!
ReplyDeleteYes, they had a tsunami today in Turkey as well after this morning devastating quake in Izmir and in Greece as well, horrible to watch.
DeleteI'm a George Clooney fan so I'll be checking this one out for sure. Happy Halloween! Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteHappy festive weekend to you as well!
