LUCY IN THE SKY Debuts New Trailer & Poster

Fox Searchlight has unveiled the official poster and trailer for LUCY IN THE SKY, a new space thriller directed by Noah Hawley and starring Natalie Portman and Jon Hamm.

Portman plays Lucy Cola, a strong woman whose determination and drive as an astronaut take her to space, where she’s deeply moved by the transcendent experience of seeing her life from afar. Back home as Lucy’s world suddenly feels too small, her connection with reality slowly unravels.

The film definitely looks like Oscar bait, but that’s not a bad thing; it will likely join the ranks of other acclaimed space thrillers like Gravity and Interstellar. The continual shifts in the aspect ratio, which is a trademark of Hawley’s work, are simultaneously intriguing and distracting but it will be interesting to see what effect it will have on the overall viewing experience, considering this is Hawley’s debut feature. Portman and Hamm also seem to have a strong on-screen chemistry.

Lucy in the Sky will be in theaters nationwide on October 4th, 2019.
