'Gravity' Trailer: Life In Space Is Impossible

Here's a new full trailer for Gravity, the Alfonso Cuarón movie that has wowed audiences, and earned a rave from James Cameron. It uses some of the same footage we've seen in the past, but does a little extra work to put it into context. The idea seems to be to tell audiences that might not know anything about the film just what the situation is, and (for those without imaginations) why it is so dire.

Check it out below.

I'm trying to see as little as possible before the film opens in early October, and so I'll confess that I resorted to scrolling through the last half of this trailer. As such I  can't vouch for whether or not this one is really spoiler-free. But if you've been hungry to see more of what Cuarón has created, this is almost certainly better than watching the long set of clips released a few weeks back.

Gravity opens on October 4.

GRAVITY, directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuaron, stars Oscar® winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space.  Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney).  But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes.  The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone—tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.  The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue.  As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.  But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
