The official trailer for this Sundance hit is finally here. Another Earth is from first time director Mike Cahill, who also co-wrote the film with its star Brit Marling. I like where this film seems to be going, and I more like the fact that it's an Indie film that's going there. I've enjoyed the Art House meets Sci-fi products like District 9 and Moon, and I certainly hope this continues that quality partnership. One can only imagine if a studio got their hands on an original idea like this. Such a fun concept, I really hope the film lives up to the ridiculously good trailer.
I don't usually post movie trailers because as a rule I don't usually get very excited over them (I'd rather read about the movie and see it, and there's something fundamentally of watching a movie trailer online; doesn't it feel more at home in a theatre?). But on a whim, I watched this without really knowing the premise. The premise is straightforward enough and quite obvious given the film's title. I suggest watching this. It looks awesome.
Oh, and for those reads who wants a full-on synopsis, it's below.
Rhoda Williams [Marling], a bright young woman recently accepted into MIT’s astrophysics program, aspires to explore the cosmos. John Burroughs [Lost's William Mopother], a brilliant composer, has just reached the pinnacle of his profession, and is about to have a second child with his loving wife. On the eve of the discovery of a duplicate Earth, tragedy strikes, and the lives of these strangers become irrevocably intertwined. Estranged from the world and the selves they once knew, the two outsiders begin an unlikely love affair, which reawakens them to life. But when one of them is presented with the opportunity to travel to the other Earth and embrace an alternative reality, which new life will they choose?
