When you’re looking to make a hit out of original material, you need to consider what other factors might get audience’s attention. An intriguing plot never hurts. Setting it in space is usually a good call. Casting the two most bankable stars in the world? Bingo!

It was bound to happen eventually and we’re lucky enough that 2016 is the year we get to witness the epic pairing of Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. The only duo that could possibly give Gosling and Stone competition for ‘most likeable couple’. These two are at the peaks of their stardom and putting them together in a movie will surely make millions even if it was just about them clipping coupons.

Thankfully the plot is a little more interesting than that. It follows two astronauts that are accidentally awoken from their sleep chambers 60 years early. It’s a perfect acting showcase for the two massive talents and feeds off the public interest of stranded astronaut films, such as Gravity and The Martian.

Need more? Well, it just so happens that these two extremely photogenic stars will be sharing a steamy love scene in the film.

Pratt. Lawrence. Space. Sex. No Gravity.

You’re welcome for the perfect tagline.
