The script for Passengers has long been insuspended animation but, now roused from its few years in hyper-sleep, we’vethe first signs of life thanks to these images of Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence
courtesy of Entertainment Weekly.   

Directed by Morten Tyldum, Passengers or LOVE. IN. SPAAACCEE!  is
set in the future on board a gigantic interstellar ship ferrying 5,000
colonists bound for Homestead II, a journey that will take 120 years. Everybody
is in suspended animation until an incident rouses one of them (Pratt) where he
realises that he might be stuck travelling alone until someone else (Lawrence) is
awakened and slowly they start to fall for one another.

But they soon discover that the ship is
malfunctioning further.

Speaking to EW, Tyldum said: “It was a
popular script. It’s one of those stories that really grabs you and you fall in
love with it. It’s very smart and funny and clever and such a page turner I
couldn’t put it down. Every 10 pages, something new happens!

“At the same time it’s a very intimate
movie while taking place on this epic scale. For me, it’s a story about what’s
important to live a full life. What are the things we need as humans? It’s not
afraid to entertain but at the same time it asks big questions about what does
it mean to really feel happy. Every generation has its love story. I feel like
this is it. I had to do it."

Unsurprisingly, Tyldum is more than happywith the finished film:
“You will laugh and cry and hold your
breath and be at the edge of your seat. It has chills. It also will make you
smile and laugh a lot.

“We wanted a playful movie. And if you have
Chris and Jen it’s impossible not to have — they’ve come up with a lot of stuff
on set. They’re both extremely funny. In this day of sequels and reboots I
think it’s refreshing that it is a completely original story with two of the
best movie stars in the world. I’m very, very happy with the movie."

Passengers, which co-stars Michael Sheen,Laurence Fishburne and Aurora Perrineau, will be out in the UK on December 23.
