Official Synopsis for Alfonso Cuarón‘s Sci-Fi Survivalist Film ‘Gravity’
At first Alfonso Cuaron’s film Gravity, couldn’t get itself out of a casting hole. Gravity seemed to go through so many names that it started to look like the film would never get made. Luckily the film got its two main stars – George Clooney and Sandrea Bullock – since then the film hasn’t been heard from again.
Even after Gravity went production earlier this year – is now in the post-production phase – we haven’t heard too much about it. The film itself relies heavily on CGI which could mean we will be seeing a lot of HUD displays like in Iron Man, Star Trek, and Children of Men. But with confirmation of heavy use of CGI, we don’t know too much about the plot for Gravity or anything about the movie itself. Until now.
JoBlo (via Slashfilm) has offered a few details about the story:
[Sandra] Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, 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.
The synopsis above sounds very similar to our previous reports, but now that we got a more detailed summary, we know what Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity is about and it doesn’t make me less excited to see it. Here is what director Guillermo Del Toro had to say about Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity:
“I’m amazed at Alfonso the past few movies because he’s completely transformed himself. ['Gravity' is] incredibly well-calculated. Very human, if you know the story.”
Even with all the rumored heavy-use of CGI, I can’t help but think that Gravity will be humanistic as Del Toro has said. We will have to wait and see.
