She tries to fight back while staying calm, but there are too many questions to process. Why is she there? What's outside? And what will happen if she makes it there? Watch on Netflix George Clooney is Augustine Lofthouse, a terminally ill scientist stationed at a remote Arctic research facility. With Earth in ruins, his final mission is a desperate one: Warn a crew of astronauts returning from a mission to Jupiter's moon that there's nothing left for them on their home planet.

Ryan Gosling and Shawn Levy's "Star Wars" Film Gets Official Title, Sets May 2027 Theatrical Release
Yara Sameh Lucasfilm confirmed that Ryan Gosling will lead a new 'Star Wars' installment, titled 'Star Wars: Starfighter,' with Shawn Levy directing. The movie is eyeing a fall production start and Disney has set a theatrical release date of May 28, 2027. After numerous reports on Gosling and Levy's attachment to a 'Star Wars' project, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and chief creative officer Dave Filoni officially unveiled plans for 'Starfighter' on Friday morning at the banner's annual Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo. Jonathan Tropper has written the screenplay for the movie. Tropper has written prior features for Levy ('The Adam Project,' 'This Is Where I Leave You') and is the creator of the Apple TV+ series 'Your Friends & Neighbors.' Gosling and Levy appeared at the livestreamed Star Wars Celebration to further tease the project, with Gosling wearing a cap reading, 'Never tell me the odds.' 'Being here and seeing all of you [makes it] more inspiring to do it. There's so much creativity and imagination in this room and there's so much love. It's such a great reminder of how much movies can mean to us, specifically how much these movies mean to us,' Gosling told the screaming audience at the end of the presentation. 'The force is a mysterious thing, but, as I'm here, the force is the fans. All we can hope for is, 'May the fans be with us.'' 'We're fans too,' Levy said. 'There's obviously a relationship between these stories and the audience, but we've spent our lives in that audience. We know how meaningful it is.' The standalone, which focuses on new characters in the 'Star Wars' universe, is set roughly five years after the events of 'Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker,' which concluded the Skywalker saga and currently stands as the final feature chronologically on the 'Star Wars' timeline. No other casting details were announced. The project marks Levy's directorial follow-up to Marvel Studios' megasmash buddy comedy 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' which raked in $1.3 billion at the global box office after releasing in July 2024 and stands as the highest-grossing R-rated feature of all-time. Gosling was last seen in the action-heavy romcom 'The Fall Guy,' released in May 2024. 'Starfighter' is a new leap for the typically franchise-averse actor, whose few encounters with IP ('Barbie,' 'Blade Runner 2049') have had less of a track record with filmgoing audiences than the omnipresent (and superlatively lucrative) 'Star Wars' franchise. 'Starfighter' will release just over a year after the next 'Star Wars' theatrical feature, 'The Mandalorian & Grogu.' That film, a theatrical expansion of the Disney+ series 'The Mandalorian,' has already completed principal photography and will release to theaters on May 22, 2026. It will mark the first 'Star Wars' feature since 'The Rise of Skywalker' debuted in December 2019.

Shawn Levy and Ryan Gosling's ‘Star Wars' Film Gets Title and Memorial Day Weekend 2027 Release
'Star Wars: Starfighter' will open exclusively in theaters May 28, 2027, Lucasfilm's President Kathleen Kennedy and Chief Creative Officer Dave Filoni announced Thursday at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Japan. 'Star Wars: Starfighter,' which will be directed by Shawn Levy and star Ryan Gosling, is a standalone adventure taking place approximately five years after the events of 2019's 'Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker.' The film, which will begin production this Fall, is an entirely new adventure featuring all-new characters set in a period of time that has not been explored on screen yet. 'There are many rumors, some true, some not. … This is not a prequel, this is not a sequel. It's a new adventure,' Levy said. 'It was a great process. This is no longer a Star Wars movie in development. This is a Star Wars movie we're making this fall!' 'This script is so good,' Gosling added. 'It's filled with so much heart and adventure and there just really is not a more perfect filmmaker for this particular story than Shawn. 'The Adam Project' writer Jonathan Tropper wrote the script. Levy has been attached to the project since 2022 and additional details about the film are being kept under wraps. Tropper and Levy have previously collaborated on the 2014 family drama 'This Is Where I Leave You,' as well as on the script for the Mark Raso-directed Netflix film 'Kodachrome,' which Levy produced. The post Shawn Levy and Ryan Gosling's 'Star Wars' Film Gets Title and Memorial Day Weekend 2027 Release appeared first on TheWrap.
