Fox Searchlight has today released the first trailer for the highly anticipated and upcoming movie Lucy In The Sky, the directorial debut of TV filmmaker Noah Hawley, creator of Fargo and Legion. The movie is loosely based on astronaut Lisa Nowak’s adventure into space and return to earth.
Plot and Characters
“In Lucy In The Sky, Natalie Portman plays astronaut Lucy Cola, who returns to Earth after a transcendent experience during a mission to space – and begins to lose touch with reality in a world that now seems too small.” The screenplay of the movie has been written by Brian C Brown, Elliott DiGuiseppi, and Noah Hawley from the story written by Brian C Brown and Elliott DiGuiseppi.
The film delves deep into the psychological effects of space travel on astronauts. Lucy Cola’s journey is not just a physical return to Earth but also an emotional and mental struggle to reconnect with her life and loved ones. Her disorientation and detachment from reality highlight the profound impact that space exploration can have on the human psyche. This theme is particularly relevant in today’s context, as space agencies around the world are planning longer missions, including potential manned missions to Mars.
Cast and Crew
The movie boasts a stellar cast, including Natalie Portman, Jon Hamm, Dan Stevens, Zazie Beetz, Pearl Amanda Dickson, and Ellen Burstyn. Natalie Portman, known for her versatility and depth in roles such as in Black Swan and Jackie, brings a compelling portrayal of Lucy Cola. Jon Hamm, famous for his role in Mad Men, plays Mark Goodwin, a fellow astronaut and Lucy’s love interest. Dan Stevens, who gained fame from Downton Abbey and Legion, plays Drew Cola, Lucy’s husband, who struggles to understand her transformation. Zazie Beetz, known for her roles in Atlanta and Deadpool 2, plays Erin Eccles, a young astronaut who becomes a rival to Lucy.
Noah Hawley’s transition from television to film is highly anticipated, given his success with critically acclaimed TV series like Fargo and Legion. His unique storytelling style and ability to create complex, multi-dimensional characters are expected to bring a fresh perspective to the film.
Production and Release
The production of Lucy In The Sky has been a topic of interest since its announcement. The film’s development process involved extensive research into the lives of astronauts and the psychological challenges they face. The filmmakers consulted with experts in the field to ensure an accurate and respectful portrayal of the subject matter. The movie’s visual effects are expected to be a highlight, capturing the awe-inspiring beauty of space and the stark contrast of life on Earth.
