Check Out The First Explosive Trailer For ‘GRAVITY’

At the beginning of the year I composed my list of my Most Anticipated Films of 2013.  Not a single frame of the film or even a poster had been released yet, but that didn’t stop Alfonso Cuaron’s upcoming film from catapulting itself to the top of my list at the number #2 spot.  This of course stems from my adoration for his brilliant previous film Children of Men.  It should come as no surprise then that after finally seeing the new explosive trailer for the film that I’m even more confident in its place on my list.  The trailer is equal parts beautiful, startling, and downright terrifying.  Ridley Scott’s Alien introduced audiences to the idea “that in space no one can hear you scream.”  Well, that iconic phrase is made all the more real while watching this first teaser.  Gravity stars George Clooney and Sandra Bullock and is slated for release on October 4.  Dare I say that this should be a shoo-in at the Oscars next year?

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
