Laurence Fishburne is embarking on yet another cosmic journey, this time alongside Casey Affleck in the psychological space thriller, “Slingshot.” The film, which follows a crew of astronauts on a perilous mission to Saturn’s moon Titan, has unveiled its first trailer ahead of its August 30, 2024, theatrical release.
‘Slingshot’ follows an elite trio of astronauts aboard a years-long, possibly compromised mission to Saturn’s moon Titan. As the team gears up for a highly dangerous slingshot maneuver that will either catapult them to Titan or into deep space, it becomes increasingly difficult for one astronaut to maintain his grip on reality.
Watch the trailer below.
Directed by Mikael Håfström (“1408”) and written by R. Scott Adams and Nathan Parker (“Moon”), the film also stars Emily Beecham and David Morrissey.
Meanwhile, Signature Entertainment has secured the U.K. and Irish rights to the film, bolstering its sci-fi lineup for 2024. Produced by Astral Pictures in association with Bluestone Entertainment, Széchenyi Funds Ltd., and Filmsquad, “Slingshot” has generated significant buzz since its acquisition by Bleecker Street for the U.S. market.
Elizabeth Williams, Chief Commercial Officer at Signature Entertainment, expressed enthusiasm for adding “Slingshot” to their slate, highlighting the company’s strong track record in the sci-fi genre.
