“War has broken out below… And we were told to take the I.S.S.” Bleecker Street Films has revealed the full official trailer for a sci-fi thriller called I.S.S. (which is the commonly known name for the International Space Station), made by acclaimed doc filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite, based on Nick Shafir’s Blacklist script. This originally premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, but it is only getting released in January in theaters. Which may not be a good sign… When a world war event occurs on Earth, America & Russia, both nations secretly contact their astronauts aboard the ISS and give them instructions to take control of the station by any means necessary. The excellent cast for this includes Ariana DeBose, Chris Messina, Pilou Asbaek, John Gallagher Jr., Costa Ronin, and Masha Mashkova, in a high-stakes thriller set within the confines of the I.S.S. as astronauts are called to duty in fateful and terrifying ways. Looks stressful to watch! And I’m sad these two “sides” have to be pitted against each other like this – it would never happen in real life, astronauts wouldn’t ever act this way. But it’s just a movie, right? Right…?
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s I.S.S., direct from Bleecker’s YouTube:
Tensions flare in the near future aboard the International Space Station as a worldwide conflict breaks out on Earth. Reeling from this, the astronauts receive orders from the ground: take control of the station by any means necessary. “I.S.S. is a nail biting thriller that keeps us on the edge of our seats. Underneath it all though, it’s really a human story — a story about the tension between what we’re called to do versus who we know ourselves to be.” This I.S.S. movie is directed by the award-winning American producer / filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite, director of the two acclaimed doc films Blackfish and The Grab previously, plus the films Megan Leavey and Our Friend, and the doc series “Children of the Underground”. The screenplay is written by Nick Shafir. It’s produced by Mickey Liddell and Pete Shilaimon. This initially premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, and the Denver Film Festival. Bleecker Street Films will debut Cowperthwaite’s I.S.S. in theaters nationwide starting January 19th, 2024 coming soon.
