Two Featurettes for Sebastian Cordero’s Europa Report
So real you might think you’re actually in space.
Okay, probably not, but that’s how the people behind Sebastian Cordero’s “Europa Report” are apparently selling the movie — as the realist sci-fi movie about space exploration you’re likely to see. Or something along those lines.
All I know is that these two featurettes for the movie are pretty groovy. Watch then and see if you agree.
EUROPA REPORT follows a contemporary mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate the possible existence of alien life within our solar system. When unmanned probes suggest that a hidden ocean could exist underneath Europa’s icy surface and may contain single-celled life, Europa Ventures, a privately funded space exploration company, sends six of the best astronauts from around the world to confirm the data and explore the revolutionary discoveries that may lie in the Europan ocean. After a near-catastrophic technical failure that leads to loss of communication with Earth and the tragic death of a crewmember, the surviving astronauts must overcome the psychological and physical toll of deep space travel, and survive a discovery on Europa more profound than they had ever imagined.
Starring Sharlto Copley, Michael Nyqvist, Christian Camargo, Embeth Davidtz, Dan Fogler, Anamaria Marinca, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Karolina Wydra, and Daniel Wu.
“Europa Report” is currently available on iTunes, and opens in limited release this August 2nd.
