Vanessa Kirby and Lewis Pullman to Star in Astronaut Drama THE SPACESUIT
Vanessa Kirby (Pieces of a Woman, Fantastic Four: First Steps) and Lewis Pullman (The Testament of Ann Lee, Thunderbolts*) will star in The Spacesuit, a feature written and directed by Kitty Green (The Assistant). HanWay, who is handling the sales for the film, noted it’s coming “at a moment of renewed global focus on space exploration” following the recent Artemis II mission to the moon.
Per the synopsis, it follows an astronaut (Kirby), who is forced to make an impossible decision after an incident with her co-pilot (Pullman) leaves an indelible stain on a mission in the days leading up to lift off, setting off a tense race against the clock.
Gabrielle Stewart, CEO of HanWay Films, said of the project: “We are thrilled to be working with Kitty Green again, whose genius is to take on utterly relatable situations women face, give them true cinematic canvases and imbue them with unbearable tension to provoke bigger conversations and entertain.
We cannot wait to be taken on this journey by Kitty with Vanessa Kirby and Lewis Pullman, and the excellent team she has gathered.”
In the meantime, Kirby and Pullman will both be seen in Avengers: Doomsday, out in theaters this December.
