New Trailer for Natalie Portman's Astronaut Drama LUCY IN THE SKY
Fox Searchlight has released a new trailer for Natalie Portman’s upcoming astronaut drama Lucy in the Sky. The film was written and directed by Noah Hawley (Legion and Fargo), and Portman plays a successful female astronaut named Lucy Cola who, "after coming back home from a mission in space, starts to unravel when confronted by her seemingly perfect American dream life."
The story will explore the theory that astronauts lose touch with reality after prolonged periods in space, and as you’ll see, Lucy’s life start to unravel out of control as she starts up an affair with a fellow astronaut (Jon Hamm). Dan Stevens plays Lucy’s husband in the film.
The movie is loosely based on astronaut Lisa Nowak's alleged criminal activities involving her romance with astronaut William Oefelein. This is no doubt going to be an intense movie, and this is the synopsis that was released:
An astronaut returns to Earth after a lengthy mission and begins an affair with a fellow astronaut. She heads into a downward spiral as she loses her connection to her family — a condition that can afflict those who spend a long time in space — and when her lover begins another affair with an astronaut trainee, the bottom drops out.
Lucy in the Sky also stars Zazie Beetz, Nick Offerman, Tig Notaro, Ellen Burstyn, Colman Domingo, and Joe Williamson.
Lucy In The Sky will hit theaters on October 4th.
