The first trailer for the upcoming space survival drama Stowaway has been released. The movie hits Netflix on April 22.
Stowaway features Wynonna Earp star Shamier Anderson as an engineer who accidentally ends on board a spaceship on its way to Mars. To his horror, he discovers that this is a two-year mission, and things go from bad to worse when the ship's life support systems are damaged, leaving only enough oxygen for three of the now four-person crew. It's looks like a tense mix of Gravity-style survival thrills and more introspective drama--check it out below:
Stowaway also stars Anna Kendrick (A Simple Favor), Daniel Dae Kim (Hellboy), and Toni Collette (Hereditary) as the other crew members. It's directed by Joe Penna, who previously helmed the 2018 action movie Polar, which starred Mads Mikkelsen.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kendrick spoke about shooting the movie as part of a small cast in a very confined setting. "There wasn't any physical training, boot camp or anything like that, because there isn't a lot of running around in the film, it's more of a chamber play," she said. "Most of it was enduring the discomfort of the spacesuit and the harnesses for hours on end. There aren't any special classes you can do to build up the flesh around your hips."
