Warner Bros. Announce Release Date For Alfonso Cuarón's GRAVITY
Described as a "masterpiece" by those who were at a test screening last year, Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity was handed a PG-13 rating not too long ago and now it finally has a firm release date after numerous delays. Hit the jump for details!
Directed and written by Alfonso Cuarón (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men), Gravity is still shrouded in an awful lot of secrecy. However, we do have a plot synopsis - see below - and know that it will be converted into 3D before its release. Speaking of which, numerous sources are now reporting that the film will finally hit the big screen on October 4th, 2013. Gravity features Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as surviving astronauts in a damaged space station, and there have been rumours that Cuarón will use his trademark technique of continuous shots for the entire film. With any luck, a trailer can't be too far away at this point! Stay tuned to CBM for updates.
[Sandra] Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky [George 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.
STARRING:
Sandra Bullock as Ryan Stone
George Clooney as Matt Kowalsky
RELEASE DATE: October 4th, 2013.
