'Gravity' trailer: George Clooney and Sandra Bullock are stranded in space!

It’s been a long wait for anyone following the development of Alfonso Cuarón’s space thriller Gravity. The film, which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts on a Space Shuttle mission, was originally set to be released in November 2012, but despite years of buzz, it wasn’t until this week that some footage from the movie finally hit the web. Now, we have the film’s first trailer.

In the spot,  Bullock and Clooney bask in the striking view of Earth, while some soft piano and violin set the scene for the beautiful and serene surroundings — until everything changes. The space shuttle is destroyed while the two astronauts are on a spacewalk, and they’re left stranded in 372 miles above Earth.

Sandra Bullock/George Clooney drama 'Gravity' gets new release date

EW can confirm that Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity — a sci-fi epic starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney — will finally come to Earth Oct. 4, 2013.

The 3-D film, Cuarón’s first since 2006′s Children of Men, finds Clooney and Bullock playing astronauts who are stranded when their space station is damaged. Gravity was originally scheduled for a Nov. 21, 2012 release before being pushed back last May to avoid competition from blockbusters like The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and Skyfall.

With its new release date, Gravity will now be going up against the 3-D conversion of Revenge of the Sith, Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City sequel, and Paranoia, a thriller starring Hunger Games actor Liam Hemsworth.

'The Heat' red-band trailer: Bullock and McCarthy, now with more swears! -- VIDEO

The Heat is a movie about very important issues in American culture, like the neverending battle between the feds and the cops, or the neverending battle between straight-laced law enforcers and their lone-wolf loose-cannon lethal-weapon partners. In this latest rendition of a tale as old as time, Sandra Bullock plays the Fed in Spanx, Melissa McCarthy plays the cop who plays by her own rules, and the new red-band trailer for the film features the two of them doing lots of hilariously NSFW things. You ever wanted to hear how Bullock says “motherf—-r?” She says it in this trailer. And it sounds awesome. Keep an eye out for Thomas F. Wilson, a.k.a. Biff Tannen, as a police captain.

'The Heat' trailer: Director Paul Feig on Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy's buddy-cop movie

A by-the-book Federal agent. A take-no-prisoners Boston detective. Forced to work together to bust a drug ring. It’s the tried and true buddy-cop formula from movies like Lethal Weapon, 48 HRS., and The Other Guys, but director Paul Feig is hoping to prove once again that the ladies can do anything as well as the guys can. In 2011, Feig helped a party of Bridesmaids led by Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy crash the box office to the tune of $169 million, trashing the notion that you need a Y-chromosome to score R-rated hilarity. In The Heat, out in April, Feig and McCarthy are raising the stakes even higher, recruiting Sandra Bullock to bust some crooks in an R-rated action-comedy.

In the new trailer, posted on Apple’s website, McCarthy and Bullock’s characters get off on the wrong foot, but pity the perp who crosses them — especially if he weighs more than they can lift. Feig tells EW about reuniting with McCarthy, what ’80s buddy-cop movie was The Heat‘s real inspiration, and how the movie will showcase another side to America’s Sweetheart Sandra Bullock.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Nice trailer. Now which one was Cagney and which was Lacey?
PAUL FEIG: Exactly. It’s a whole new twist, my friend. No, I’m really proud of it because the irony is doing a green-band trailer is kinda hard. We’re definitely a good R-rated movie. But the first trailer definitely gives you a feel for these characters and the chemistry between them. These two actresses are just so funny together. Now they’re like best friends in real life, so the chemistry just comes through. READ FULL STORY »

Sandra Bullock, George Clooney sci-fi drama 'Gravity' pushed to 2013

One of the most intriguing movies of 2012 is now one of the most intriguing movies of 2013. Gravity, the 3-D sci-fi drama starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts stranded in open space, has been pushed from its Nov. 21 release to 2013 by Warner Bros., EW has confirmed.

The studio remains bullish on the movie, director Alfonso Cuarón’s first film since his highly acclaimed 2006 sci-fi drama Children of Men. But between a lack of available 3-D IMAX screens and a highly competitive holiday moviegoing season that includes a new Bond movie, the final Twilight movie, and The Hobbit, Warner Bros. execs wanted to be sure the unusual film had the best possible platform for success.

A new firm release date has not yet been set.

New 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close' trailer: Don't even pretend you're not crying

Warner Bros. has released a second trailer for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, based on Jonathan Safran Foer’s 9/11-inspired novel. If you’re still sobbing from the film’s first preview, don’t put down your hanky just yet. We get more glimpses of the sweet relationship between Oskar Schell (precocious Jeopardy! champion Thomas Horn) and his father (Tom Hanks) that inspires the boy to undertake a citywide quest to learn about a mysterious key.

It’s Sandra Bullock, though, who really delivers on the story’s inherent emotion, particularly during a fraught phone call with her husband (Hanks) that will be their last. Bullock, Hanks, and Horn are buoyed by an exceptional cast that includes Max von Sydow, John Goodman, Viola Davis, Jeffrey Wright, and Zoe Caldwell. See the full trailer below. READ FULL STORY »
