James Gray’s forthcoming sci-fi daddy drama Ad Astra got a new trailer on Thursday morning. Where the first trailer was a bit heavier on plot exposition and table setting, this one’s much more of the tone poem-style filmmaking we’ve come to expect from the perpetually Palme d’Or-nominated director behind 2016’s The Lost City of Z.
Brad Pitt stars in Ad Astra as astronaut Roy McBride, who is on a quest to find his missing father (Tommy Lee Jones, growling and distant as always). Per the film’s synopsis, Pitt will “unravel a mystery that threatens the survival of our planet” and “uncover secrets that challenge the nature of human existence and our place in the cosmos.”
