Trailer And Poster To George Clooney’s Midnight Sky With Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, & Tiffany Boone
Netflix has released the trailer and poster to George Clooney’s upcoming drama The Midnight Sky, directed by and starring the Oscar winner in a post-apocalyptic tale. The Midnight Sky will be release on December 23, 2020 on the streaming platform.
The Midnight Sky also stars Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Tiffany Boone with Demián Bichir and Kyle Chandler, and introducing Caoilinn Springall.
Clooney plays Augustine Lofthouse, a scientist at a remote arctic research station who may be the last man on Earth. The astronomer is dying from cancer, and he chooses to remain at the snowbound observatory to end his days alone, the same way he lived them.
Except he’s not actually alone. A child named Iris (Caoilinn Springall) hid herself away during the outpost’s evacuation and now depends on him for survival.
To save the crew of the Aether, Augustine and the foundling girl have to venture through the increasingly toxic air and melting arctic landscape to reach a different observatory that has a communications array powerful enough to reach the starship.
Unfortunately, the hope the ship represents for humanity is meager anyway: it carries only five passengers.
Mission specialist Sully (Felicity Jones) is desperate to reestablish communications with the unresponsive Earth, while David Oyelowo’s flight commander Adewole considers steering them into uncharted space as a shortcut home. Flight engineer Maya (Tiffany Boone) must keep the ship functioning as it crashes through clouds of rocky ice. Kyle Chandler’s pilot Mitchell and Demián Bichir’s aerodynamicist Sanchez fret over whether returning at all is the right course.
Clooney directs the adaptation of Lily Brooks-Dalton’s acclaimed novel Good Morning, Midnight, from a screenplay written by Mark L. Smith.
The movie is produced by Grant Heslov, p.g.a., George Clooney, p.g.a., Keith Redmon, Bard Dorros, and Cliff Roberts. Executive producers include Barbara A. Hall, Todd Shuster, Jennifer Gates, and Greg Baxter.
