STX Entertainment has
released the first trailer for Peter Chelsom's ("Hector and the Search for
Happiness") upcoming sci-fi drama The Space Between Us.
In the film, Asa
Butterfield plays Gardner Elliot, an inquisitive and highly intelligent
16-year-old boy who so happens to be the very first human born on Mars. After
years of searching for his father, Elliot finally gets a chance to come to
Earth and experience all the things he read about. But his time is short as his
biology can't withstand Earth's atmosphere.
Opening in theaters
on August 19, The Space Between Us also stars Gary Oldman, Britt Robertson,
Carla Gugino, BD Wong, Janet Montgomery, and Lola Martinez-Cunningham.
In this interplanetary adventure, a
space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover
after takeoff that one of the astronauts is pregnant. Shortly after landing,
she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the
red planet – never revealing who the father is. Thus begins the extraordinary
life of Gardner Elliot – an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who reaches the
age of 16 having only met 14 people in his very unconventional upbringing.
While searching for clues about his
father, and the home planet he’s never known, Gardner begins an online
friendship with a street smart girl in Colorado named Tulsa. When he finally
gets a chance to go to Earth, he’s eager to experience all of the wonders he
could only read about on Mars – from the most simple to the extraordinary. But
once his explorations begin, scientists discover that Gardner’s organs can’t
withstand Earth’s atmosphere.
Eager to find his father, Gardner
escapes the team of scientists and joins with Tulsa on a race against time to
unravel the mysteries of how he came to be, and where he belongs in the
universe.
