As well as announcing its new Assassin’s Creed TV series, Netflix has also released a new trailer for the upcoming science-fiction, post-apocalyptic movie starring George Clooney, which will premiere in a few months time on December 23rd 2020. The film has been directed by George Clooney and is based on the book by Lily Brooks-Dalton, Good Morning, Midnight.
Plot Overview
“This post-apocalyptic tale follows Augustine (George Clooney), a lonely scientist in the Arctic, as he races to stop Sully (Felicity Jones) and her fellow astronauts from returning home to Earth, where a mysterious global catastrophe has taken place.”
The story delves into the themes of isolation, survival, and the human spirit’s resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. Augustine, a scientist stationed in the Arctic, discovers that a global catastrophe has rendered Earth uninhabitable. Meanwhile, a group of astronauts led by Sully is unaware of the disaster and is attempting to return home. Augustine’s mission becomes a race against time to warn them and prevent their return to a doomed planet.
Cast and Characters
“Midnight Sky co-stars David Oyelowo, Kyle Chandler, Demián Bichir and Tiffany Boone.”
The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast. David Oyelowo plays Commander Adewole, a key member of the astronaut crew. Kyle Chandler portrays Mitchell, another astronaut who faces the challenges of space and the unknown fate of Earth. Demián Bichir takes on the role of Sanchez, adding depth to the crew’s dynamic. Tiffany Boone plays Maya, a young astronaut who brings a fresh perspective to the mission.
George Clooney’s dual role as both director and lead actor adds a unique layer to the film. His portrayal of Augustine is expected to be both poignant and compelling, capturing the essence of a man grappling with loneliness and the weight of his mission.
Production and Direction
George Clooney’s involvement in the film extends beyond acting. As the director, he brings his vision to life, ensuring that the narrative stays true to the source material while also adding his unique touch. Clooney’s previous directorial efforts, such as “Good Night, and Good Luck” and “The Ides of March,” have been critically acclaimed, and expectations are high for “Midnight Sky.”
The film’s setting in the Arctic adds to the sense of isolation and desolation, creating a stark contrast with the vastness of space where the astronauts find themselves. The cinematography, led by Martin Ruhe, aims to capture the beauty and harshness of these environments, enhancing the storytelling.
