Academy
Award® winners Sandra Bullock (“The Blind Side”) and George Clooney
(“Syriana”) star in “Gravity,” a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into
the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar®
nominee Alfonso Cuarón (“Children of Men”).
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a
brilliant engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt
Kowalski (Clooney). But on a seemingly
routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The
shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski 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.
“Gravity”
was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón, and produced by Alfonso
Cuarón and David Heyman (the “Harry
Potter” films). Chris deFaria, Nikki
Penny and Stephen Jones served as executive producers.
The behind-the-scenes team includes
multiple Oscar®-nominated director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki
(“Children of Men,” “The New World”); production designer Andy Nicholson;
editors Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger; and costume designer Jany Temime (the
“Harry Potter” films). The visual
effects were handled by Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor
Tim Webber (“The Dark Knight”). The
music was composed by Steven Price.
