Finally, There's A Movie That Sends Brad Pitt To Space

Ever dreamt of seeing Brad Pitt launched into space? There's a movie for that.


the opening footage of the upcoming sci-fi adventure Ad Astra is here, and Pitt will get more than his fair share of space exploration because the movie unfolds. He's got to go all of the way out past Neptune, for goodness' sake. As we learned in 2010: The Year We Make Contact, we're really not even supposed to go behind Europa, so it's probably a bad idea all around.


Ad Astra follows engineer Roy McBride (Brad Pitt), whose father (Tommy Lee Jones) has gone missing following an one-way intergalactic trip to Neptune, of all places. Following an abnormal event referred to because the Surge" down on Earth, a EMP-like event that shuts down electricity, technology, and other crucial facets of everyday life, Roy must travel to the outer edges of our solar system to find exactly where his father has disappeared to. Given that it's space, something terrible is basically assuredly about to happen. That's par for the course in these movies.


The trailer itself is a little bit ambiguous in terms of what occurs once Roy is floating around up there, though judging by the small bit of footage we've seen, it looks like he'll be making at least one stop on the moon, where there's some group kind of outlandish face-off waiting for him. And given the poster's distorted image of an astronaut, something trippy's bound to happen, at least once. You've seen Interstellar, right?


Originally, the film was set to debut on January 11, yet was since delayed to May 24. Right now, it's finally dated for September 20, also it looks like the odds of it finally heading to theaters this time around are pretty good. If you're into sweeping space epics, this may very well be right up your alley.
