From FirstShowing.net:
After losing contact with Earth, astronaut Lee Miller (Gunner Wright) becomes stranded in orbit aboard the Space Station. As time passes and life support systems dwindle, Lee battles to maintain his sanity – and simply stay alive. His world is a claustrophobic and lonely existence… until he makes a strange discovery.
I’m not sure what to make of this. On the one hand, it feels like a book trailer, all that music and sharp images, some snippets of speech but no actual dialogue.
Ah. Kelley’s just sent me this link to a Wired article:
“After losing contact with Earth, astronaut Lee Miller becomes stranded in orbit alone aboard the International Space Station. As time passes and life support systems dwindle, Lee battles to maintain his sanity — and simply stay alive. His world is a claustrophobic and lonely existence, until he makes a strange discovery aboard the ship. Driven by the powerful music of Angels & Airwaves, Love explores the fundamental human need for connection and the limitless power of hope. A high-impact visual adventure, that resonates a common truth, that everyone has a story to tell and something even greater to leave behind.”
So now I’m thinking it’s just going to be one long extended boy emo vid, a plotless wonder. Sigh.
Looks like he finds a civil war diary aboard the ship — hence the Civil War battle scenes. Gotta wonder about the semi-naked girl lying on the American flag…
Dianne, I'm wondering if he does actually find anything, or if it's one of those goes-mad-to-stay-sane i.e. “it's all a dream” scenarios.
At some point, someone will see it–February–and then we'll know. But I'm guessing it's not going to be my kind of thing. Sigh.
On the other hand…someone's finally giving Sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth a cinematic go. I'll be *really* interested to see that.
Phoenix, me too–if they do a good job. But so many of these films get hacked about in preproduction, to save $$. Sigh.
