At some point in the recent past we reported that Angelina Jolie was maybe, probably, going to star in Alfonso Cuaron’s “Gravity”, a tale about a couple of astronauts tinkering around outside of a “remote” space station when it gets hit with space junk. To further complicate the matter it seems that now Jolie is out and on to other things. I had feverish visions of Jolie in a skin tight spacesuit but alas, it’s not to be.

Angelina Jolie to Star in Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity – UPDATED
Alfonso Cuaron’s “Children of Man” was a pretty slam-banging good piece of sci-fi, I have to admit, so I’m excited the Mexican director has decided to stay in the realm of sci-fi with his new movie, “Gravity”. Based on a script by Cuaron and his son Jonas, “Gravity” is a “Moon”-ish thriller about the sole surviving human member of a space mission who is desperately trying to return home to Earth and her daughter. NYMag’s Vulture blog has Angelina Jolie in line to play the sole survivor, and in doing so, Jolie has abandoned Universal’s “Wanted” sequel. The role would require a lot of lone time for Jolie, thus the comparison to Duncan Jones’ sleeper sci-fi hit “Moon”.
