13 Announced Movies You Won't Believe Are Real
9. Lucy In The Sky
The Pitch: Loosely based on true events, this drama revolves around astronaut Lucy Cola (Natalie Portman), who begins an affair with a fellow astronaut after returning home from a lengthy mission in space.
Once Lucy loses touch with her own family - a psychological symptom of space travel - she's pushed fully over the edge after her lover embarks on his own affair with a trainee astronaut.
Noah Hawley (FX's Fargo) directs, while Jon Hamm, Zazie Beetz, Dan Stevens, Ellen Burstyn and Nick Offerman co-star.
Will It Be Any Good?: On paper this sounds fantastic, and by presenting itself as only a loose interpretation of Lisa Nowak's battery and attempted kidnapping of a U.S. Air Force Captain, it'll avoid a lot of the criticism usually associated with biographical dramas.
The cast is fantastic and Hawley has proven himself an extremely confident and capable director, especially when it comes to left-field material like this.
On one hand Oscar buzz wouldn't be surprising, but on the other, it could end up a little too weird for the Academy.
