8. Gravity
Admittedly, I am not familiar with the previous works of director Alfonso Cuarón, but the premise for his upcoming
Gravity certainly has me hooked. It tells the story of two astronauts (played by George Clooney and Sandra Bullock) who attempt to return to Earth after their space station is destroyed, leaving them alone in space. With its October release date, some are even expecting this to be in the Oscar discussion. The acting should be top-notch with two Oscar winners leading the way. It's difficult for me to write too much about this one since no promotional material is available for the public. All that's there for me so far is the intriguing storyline. Warner Bros. showed off a brief teaser at CinemaCon recently which was well-received. We should get our first look at the finished product some time this summer with the release only five months away.
