Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity is definitely one of the more intriguing movies of 2012, with rumours the movie largely just has Sandra Bullock on screen for most of the running time and features single takes lasting up to 20 minutes.
The film is currently in post-production and working towards a November release date, but Sandra Bullock, has been talking about the movie with USA Today, and now director Alfonso Cuarón wouldn't allow his stars to wear any make-up in the space-set thriller.
She says, "God help us all when my face comes rushing at you with no makeup on. I'm going to apologise now, but Alfonso, in a brilliant move, said, 'No makeup.' Our vain little heads are going to be some massive 17-foot image [in IMAX]. You are going to see details because it's shot on this digital film that shows everything. It's so scary. There are scenes where you say, 'This is where you have to let go and let God.' And, thank God, there are no nude scenes."
It'll be interesting to see in the first trailer, whether the no makeup rule really affects the look of the movie. Here's the synopsis: '[Sandra] Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky [George Clooney] in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.
'The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.'
