"Ad Astra" will feature "the most realistic
depiction of space travel that's been put in a movie," Director James Gray
said in
an interview at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Gray also
described the film as "sort of like if you got 'Apocalypse Now' and '2001'
in a giant mashup and you put a little [Joseph] Conrad in there."
ad astra full movie
The inspiration from "Apocalypse Now" is apparent as Pitt (Capt.
Willard in this scenario) watches the last recordings his father ever made and
asks, "What did he find out there ... in the abyss?"
In a priceless moment at the end of the trailer, Jones even sounds like
Marlon Brando (Col. Kurtz) as he says, "The world awaits our discovery, my
son."
"Ad Astra" is Latin for "to the stars." It's often
used as a shorthand for "ad astra per aspera," which means "to
the stars through difficulties."
The movie will have its world premiere at the Venice International Film
Festival in Italy, which begins on Aug. 28. "Ad Astra" also stars Liv
Tyler, Donald Sutherland and Ruth Negga and will be released to the
public on Sept. 20. The film's initial May release date was delayed because of The Walt
Disney Co. buyout of Twentieth Century Fox.
