A Day after "Entertainment Tonight" released 10 seconds of the "Gravity" Trailer, Warner Bros has revealed the poster of the film.
Warner Bros. is teasing audiences before they premiere the trailer to one of year's most anticipated films on Thursday. The poster shows an astronaut in freefall and the slogan says "Don't let go."
According to the official Synopsis released by the company, the film tells the story of "Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney). 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."
The film was written and directed by Alfonso Cuaron. Warner Bros. originally scheduled it for release in 2012 but it was postponed due to post-production and an oversaturated schedule that included "The Hobbit," "Coud Atlas" and " Argo." "Gravity" has been referred to as the new "Avatar" and is special effects driven. It is also rumored to have a 17-minute opening shot and George Clooney has already hyped it as one of the most visually stunning films ever made.
Clooney recently won an Academy Award for producing "Argo." He also starred in "The Descendants." He is currently working on his new film "The Monuments Men" with Matt Damon and Cate Blanchett. Bullock is set to star in "The Heat" this summer. She last appeared in the Academy Award nominated films "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" and "The Blind Side."
"Gravity" is the follow up to Cuaron's "Children of Men" which was released in 2006 to rave reviews. He has also directed "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Y Tu Mama Tambien."
Warner Bros. Pictures will release the trailer in front of "The Great Gatsby. "Gravity" will be released in 3D and 2D on October 4 in select theaters.
