The more that I see of this movie, the more I am looking forward to it. Danny Boyle hasn't failed yet, from his Brit-gangster flick Trainspotting, to his revisionist zombie movie 28 Days Later, to his family film Millions. This time he takes on the science fiction genre. The story follows a space mission to restart the Sun, it is dying, and the world is frozen in an ice age. Of course, things do not go as planned, and the mission begins to fall apart. I sense a bit of Event Horizon, although I doubt this will have the horror element, but the feeling is there. The trailer is quite impressive, as are the other clips that have come out. Boyle has a strong cast that includes Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later, Batman Begins), Michelle Yeoh (Memoirs of a Geisha), Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), Hiroyuki Sanada (The Twilight Samurai), and Rose Byrne (28 Weeks Later, Marie Antoinette). It is open in limited release, hopefully will go wider soon. An extended trailer has appeared over at the Quicktime site that gives a better idea of the story.
In a bit of an unorthodox approach, they have put together a sequence featuring deaths of crew members aboard the Icarus 2. Not sure that I agree with this particular marketing point, but I know some people like to see it. View, if you dare:
