“Space race drama”? Is that a thing? I can already see the tagline: “In space noone can see your race”. 

But anyway, great that both Henson and Spencer are busy with, hopefully, good roles.

Hopefully they’ll move that release date up a few weeks. Even if it’s not meant to be an Oscar contender, January won’t make it any money. (But they are having to choose between a January release or contending with both Star Wars Rogue One and Passengers). I’ve been a fan of Henson since the TV show Person ot Interest, so I’ll definitely see this one.

Kevin Costner has been cast as the head of the space program. The ensemble is shaping up nicely. They go into production this month in Atlanta, so I’m excited for the rest of the cast announcements in the upcoming two weeks.

The fact that it’s based on true story elevates the whole project for me. Maybe it will turn out well. Fingers crossed.

Kevin Costner joining the cast is not a great thing. That tells everything that anyone needs to know about the movie. The movie is probably going to be just like that Black or White movie he did with Octavia Spencer.

Would love if this turned out to be like The Help, meaning both Spencer and Dunst get nominated!

Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Glen Powell & Aldis Hodge have all been cast in supporting roles. SAG ensemble, anyone?

Kirsten Dunst is on a roll, and if the seemingly-Oscar baitey Woodshock is released in time, it seems she’ll be a big contender for both Lead and Supporting.
