Passengers,or as I like to call it, The Movie Star Survival Test, is coming out at Christmas. Now that Thanksgiving is over,Jennifer LawrenceandChris Prattare on the hard sell, and they’ll be pushing the movie as charmingly and charismatically as they can until just before the holiday break. Last I wrote about howPassengersis a good test of the viability of the Movie Star – if it’s good. It’s been hard to tell though from the previews. But also, the movie is hard to preview. As Angie Hanobserved this morning, “it’s starting to look like Sony has no idea how to market this movie”. The movie is about two people on a migration spaceship who weren’t supposed to wake up for another 90 years. They hang out, fall in love, and then some crazy sh-t goes wrong. So it’s kindaGravityand kindaBefore Sunrise.And maybeAlien? That might be confusing to the audience making a decision about what to go see when they want to get away from their family on Boxing Day. So… now that we have new pictures of Jennifer and Chris in Paris, a new clip and music video have just been released forPassengers．和they’re clearly going for here is rom-com.
It’s a date! It’s a montage! It’s two of the most irresistible movie stars romancing each other. They’ve even worked the disaster scenes into the love narrative! Are you in?
你知道这个设置吗?
Jennifer Lawrence + Chris Pratt vs Emma Stone + Ryan Gosling
And all of them vsRogue One.
PS. I love this look on Jennifer. The star sweater over the long tutu. So good.
