How The Audacious Ambition Of His Netflix Sci-Fi Epic ‘The Midnight Sky’ Might Hasten George Clooney’s Transition From One A-List To Another

It’s two days after Thanksgiving when George Clooney speaks to Deadline to discuss his ambitious The Midnight Sky, a timely sci-fi film split between a spacecraft and the frozen Iceland tundra. Scripted by The Revenant writer Mark L. Smith and just as rugged in its outdoor scenes, the film provides an up-the-road look at what might happen to Earth if mankind doesn’t slow the pace of a warming planet that is a gassy, ruined and uninhabitable husk just 29 years from now. Clooney stars as Augustine Lofthouse, an ailing scientist who has made it possible for survivors to migrate, but who stays behind in the Arctic to help everyone else as they head for a new start in a new paradise in space. He’s surprised by a small child stowaway he needs to take with him to move to a station with a strong antenna to warn the astronauts on one particular spacecraft to not come back. The film is conscious of its timely warning message, down ton a homage to the Stanley Kramer apocalyptic film On the Beach. Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Kyle Chandler, Sophie Rundle, Demian Bichir, Tiffany Boone and newcomer Caoilinn Springall round the cast. Related Story… Read full this story
