The trailer for Brad Pitt’s latest flick, Ad Astra, is here, and this space exploration movie looks like it will be packed with adventure!
Ad Astra is a new space odyssey with an incredibly amazing cast. Starring Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler, and Donald Sutherland this movie looks like it will not only be an edge-of-your-seat adventure through the farthest reaches of space, but it will also have some truly powerful performances.
We’ve got the first trailer for the film below.
Okay, so while we might have some initial questions — like how Brad Pitt’s character managed to survive a freefall from outside of the earth’s atmosphere — this movie has got us really excited.
Pitt plays an astronaut who is sent into space to track down his father (Jones) who has been missing for some time on a mission to discover alien life. Since Jones’ character’s disappearance, the earth has experienced a devastating event called “the surge,” which seems as though it may have something to do with a highly dangerous substance Jones found during his exploration that could wipe out all life on earth. It’s up to Pitt to find his dad and keep that substance as far from the earth as possible.
Ad Astra is directed by James Gray. Gray and Pitt have previously worked together on The Lost City of Z, a film that Pitt ultimately dropped out of thanks to scheduling conflicts due to his work on the movie World War Z. We’re excited to see a team-up between these two that actually makes it all the way to the big screen.
This movie has gone through quite a bit to get to the big screen, suffering from several delayed premiere dates and changing hands in the big Fox/Disney merger. However, it has an official premiere date, and we can’t wait. You can finally check out Ad Astra for yourself when it premieres in movie theaters this fall on September 20.
