GRAVITY
Academy
Award® winners Sandra Bullock (“The Blind Side,” “The Proposal”) and
George Clooney (“Up in the Air,” “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 medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut
Matt Kowalsky (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.
“Gravity”
was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón. Alfonso Cuarón and David Heyman (the “Harry
Potter” films) are the film’s producers.
Chris deFaria (“Happy Feet Two”) Nikki Penny (“Clash of the Titans”) and
