There Will Be “Sunshine” In Theaters This Spring

January 18, 2007 By S. K. Sloan 1 Comment

Fox Searchlight Pictures is proud to present “Sunshine,” coming to theaters Spring 2007.

In about fifty years from now, our sun is dying, and humankind, along with every other living thing on planet Earth is dying with it. Humanity’s last hope is a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women.

The ship is carry a device which will breathe new life into the dying star, however, deep into their voyage, and out of radio contact with Earth, their mission begins to unravel. A series of events, accidents, mistakes and an unexpected distress beacon from a spaceship that disappeared seven years earlier, presumed lost forever, only add to the distress the crew is already under.

Soon the crew is fighting, not only for their lives, but their sanity.

“Sunshine” is an Andrew Macdonald production directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) from a screenplay written by Alex Garland (the Beach, 28 Days Later & the upcoming HALO). It will star Rose Byrne (Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones), Cliff Curtis (Whale Rider), Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), Troy Garity (After the Sunset), Cillian Murphy (Red Eye, Batman Begins), Hiroyuki Sanada (The Last Samurai), Benedict Wong (Eleventh Hour), Michelle Yeoh (Memoirs of a Geisha) and Mark Strong II (Syriana).

Get this exclusive first-look of “Sunshine” brought to you by Slice of SciFi and Fox Searchlight Pictures.

    I just came across this on IMDB and being a Danny Boyle fan, I’m anxious to see what he does with this story.
