The first trailer for Sony Pictures' "Passengers (2016)" has arrived. The newly-released video shows Chris Pratt's Jim waking up 90 years too soon after his hibernation pod fails to keep him asleep on a journey to a colony 120 years away. He's not alone as Jennifer Lawrence's Aurora also wakes up seemingly due to a malfunction.
The two-and-a-half-minute video opens with Jim using a tiny robot to ask her on a date. Other scenes feature the pair becoming the ship's only hope of recovering from a serious malfunction. Jim thinks that there's a reason they "woke up early." Aurora says, "No! You die, I die." There is also a glimpse of Michael Sheen playing a dapper robotic bartender who is seen smashing some glasses on the bar with his face.
"Passengers" follows a spacecraft transporting thousands of people to a distant colony planet that has a malfunction in one of its sleep chambers. As a result, a single passenger is awakened 90 years before anyone else. Faced with the prospect of growing old and dying alone, he eventually decides to wake up a second passenger, marking the beginning of what becomes a unique love story.
Directed by "The Imitation Game" helmer Morten Tyldums from a screenplay provided by Jon Spaiths, the sci-fi romance will arrive in U.S. theaters on December 21. Stephen Hamel serves as producer along with Neal H. Moritz, Ori Marmur and Michael Maher. The sci-fi film is supported by Laurence Fishburne, Aurora Perrineau and Kimberly Battista.
