“After the alignment, the world will change forever. Everything will start over.” 🔭 Dark Star Pictures has released an official US trailer for an indie sci-fi action thriller film from France titled The Gravity, made by filmmaker Cédric Ido. This intially premiered at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival last year and it already opened in France earlier this year. Finally set for a US release on VOD starting in November. A mysterious cosmic event upsets the Earth’s gravity and sets the sky ablaze in a red hue, creating chaos in a futuristic Parisian suburb. This French “genre-busting” thriller is more of a story about street culture in the suburbs, following a local band of teenagers and their feud with other residents in the area. Starring Jean-Baptiste Anoumon, Max Gomis, Steve Tientcheu, Oliver Rosemberg, Thierry Godard, and Hafsia Herzi. Apparently all hell breaks loose once this red tinge takes over, part of the strange occurrences caused by his cosmic alignment event. Looks like a solid French film – worth a look whether you’re into sci-fi films or not.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ two posters) for Cédric Ido’s The Gravity, direct from YouTube:
A mysterious alignment of planets sets the sky ablaze and worries all the inhabitants of the city. A band of teenagers, “The Ronins”, rule the city and see this planetary event as the possibility of a new era. Daniel (Max Gomis), Joshua (Steve Tientcheu) and Christophe (Jean-Baptiste Anoumon), three childhood friends who have been separated by drug dealing and prison, must unite to confront this gang. After that night, when the sky suddenly turned blood red, nothing will ever be the same again… The Gravity, also known as La Gravité in French, is both written and directed by French actor / filmmaker Cédric Ido, director of the films Chateau and Gangrènes previously, plus work on the MTV series “Shuga”. Produced by Emma Javaux. This initially premiered at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival last year, also playing at the Oldenburg & Geneva Film Festivals. Dark Star Pictures will debut Ido’s The Gravity in select US theaters on November 10th, 2023, then on VOD / Blu-ray starting November 14th this fall. Look any good? Who wants to watch this?
