A new Gravity trailer has been released in stunning 2K HD (as opposed to the measly 1080p standard).
The film that stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney is expected to do very well come Oscar season.
The first trailer was one of the most intense trailers ever, and this one ups the ante even more. The trailer is said to contain a spoiler, but nothing stood out at us when we watched it.
If you’re on a screen that supports it, make sure you change the resolution to “original.”
On the surface, Gravity sounded like a movie that would be interesting in premise, but that likely would be a tough sell on audiences. Do moviegoers really want to see a movie that’s about an astronaut (Sanrda Bullock) floating alone in space?
Once we had something more than premise alone, those fears were quickly dashed. When the first trailer was released, we were blown away, but we still wondered what effect the film would have on audiences.
Some of the people in attendance of the Telluride Film Festival last weekend were lucky enough to see the film. The word of mouth that has begun to spread is impressive to say the least.
Perhaps most telling is the glowing review legendary filmmaker James Cameron gave Gravity and its director Alfonso Cuarón.
I was stunned, absolutely floored. I think it’s the best space photography ever done, I think it’s the best space film ever done, and it’s the movie I’ve been hungry to see for an awful long time.
What is interesting is the human dimension. Alfonso and Sandra working together to create an absolutely seamless portrayal of a woman fighting for her life in zero gravity.
I read the script, and I thought it was tremendously challenging to shoot with a high degree of veracity to get the real look of zero gravity.
I’m sure Alfonso had a real uphill battle with the studio, with everyone involved, to get it the way it needed to look. But he knew in his mind how it needed to look, and he went after it.
Many are shocked to hear the words come out of Cameron’s mouth. Some doubt that any space movie could be better than 2001: A Space Odyssey, but if it is, and it certainly could be, the treat we’re all in for could be bigger than most ever imagined.
