Another recent space thriller/astronaut film…


And one with Brad Pitt & Tommy Lee Jones? Nice!

Strong cast overall. Hope it delivers.

I love these kind of movies, there can never be enough. This is propably my most anticipated movie at the moment. Good cast too.

Did I miss a teaser or something? This comes out in May.

No, there hasn’t been any teasers, clips or posters released. I forgot it was less than 4 months away!

Keep in mind, the film got bumped to May back in December (it originally had an uneventful January release) but it was reported that it was “far from finished.”

Still, seems odd that it’s this close to being released and yet we haven’t gotten a single teaser. I think we should expect the film to get pushed back again.

From Deadline concerning the film’s Cannes release:

Regarding Ad Astra, we hear this starry deep space epic will not be ready in time. Pitt plays an astronaut who searches the galaxy for his father (Tommy Lee Jones) in the New Regency/Fox title. There are a couple of reasons why this has been so hotly expected in Cannes: Director James Gray is a regular on the Riviera and the movie still has a May 22 release date in France (May 24 domestically).

We expect, however, that this release date will change now that the Disney/Fox deal has closed. In the run-up to the merger, Fox had not actively been switching up its schedule for a couple weeks, likely given the combination of the slates going forward — and a reason that Ad Astra has stayed put. But we have heard from several sources that the VFX-heavy film simply isn’t ready and should be part of upcoming date changes.



This was expected.

A September release is now anticipated.
