Brad Pitt to Play Astronaut in Upcoming Movie ‘Ad Astra’

LOS ANGELES: A new trailer for Brad Pitt’s upcoming space thriller “Ad Astra” has him dark and brooding, a stark contrast to his critically acclaimed starring role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood”.

The new trailer for the space film, directed by The Lost City Of Oz’s James Gray focuses on Brad’s character Roy McBride as he struggles with searching for his lost father, who travelled deeper into space than any other human and may have endangered life in the galaxy.

Tommy Lee Jones plays the errant scientist lost in the darkness of space.

Roy McBride’s father, played by Jones, went missing during a space mission 16 years prior while looking for alien life.

But now Earth is suffering from something called ‘the surge,’ and it is thought McBride’s father may be to blame.

The new IMAX trailer released by 20th Century Fox hints that not only will McBride fly across the galaxy in a race against time to save Earth, but antimatter may also be involved in the deterioration of Earth.

The film was originally set for release in January but has had two shifts since then, and will now release in the UK on 18 September, two days ahead of the US.
