We have to take a minute to appreciate the varied projects Adam Sandler has been doing the last few years. He’s really come a long way from his days on “Saturday Night Live,” and continues to subvert expectations of his abilities in drama. This next film we’ll be seeing him is another departure, this time, to outer space.
“Spaceman” is directed by Johan Renck, who’s work on such series as “The Walking Dead,” “Breaking Bad,” and “Chernobyl” absolutely tell you what kind of project this is going to be. It’s based on the novel based on the novel “Spaceman of Bohemia,” from author Jaroslav Kalfař.
The cast, also, proves this isn’t your average Sandler flick. Carey Mulligan, Kunal Nayyar, Lena Olin, Isabella Rossellini, and Paul Dano star.
Check out some images from “Spaceman“:
Logline: Six months into a solitary research mission to the edge of the solar system, an astronaut, Jakub (Sandler), realizes that the marriage he left behind might not be waiting for him when he returns to Earth. Desperate to fix things with his wife, Lenka (Mulligan), he is helped by a mysterious creature from the beginning of time he finds hiding in the bowels of his ship. Hanuš (Dano) works with Jakub to make sense of what went wrong before it is too late.
