“Experience the Third Dimension” In New GRAVITY Featurette
Learn about director Alfonso Cuarón’s unique approach to 3D in this new featurette for GRAVITY. The film was co-written by Alfonso Cuarón and his son, Jonás, marking their first official collaboration.
GRAVITY opens in US theaters this Friday – prepare to go inside the astronaut’s suits and for one thrilling ride!
The intentional demolition of an obsolete satellite sends sharp fragments hurtling into space, setting off a chain reaction that puts the fast-growing debris field on a collision course with the Space Shuttle “Explorer”. The inescapable impact is catastrophic, destroying the shuttle and leaving Mission Specialist Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Mission Commander Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) as the lone survivors. All communication with Mission Control has been lost…and, with it, any chance of rescue. Adrift in the void, the two must find a way to see past their own limitations and escape their inertia if they are ever going to get back to Earth.
GRAVITY had been envisioned from the beginning as a 3D cinematic experience. Jonás Cuarón says, “The concept was always to do this movie in 3D because we wanted people to be truly immersed in the imagery as well as the narrative.”
That said, Alfonso Cuarón emphasizes, “We didn’t want it to be 3D for the sake of things flying in your face. We tried to be subtle…to let you feel like you’re inside the journey.”
GRAVITY will be released in 3D and 2D and IMAX, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 4th.
The behind-the-scenes team includes multiple Oscar-nominated director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki (CHILDREN OF MEN, THE NEW WORLD); production designer Andy Nicholson (art director ALICE IN WONDERLAND); editors Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger (VFX editor CHILDREN OF MEN); and costume designer Jany Temime (the “Harry Potter” films). The visual effects were handled by Oscar-nominated visual effects supervisor Tim Webber (THE DARK KNIGHT). The music was composed by Steven Price (THE WORLD’S END).
