In the trailer for Netflix’s new film Spaceman, Adam Sandler stars as an astronaut named Jakub who is 189 days into a solo mission and losing a grip on reality. Watch the preview for the sci-fi drama below.
While pining after his wife Lenka (Carey Mulligan), Sandler meets a benevolent alien named Hanuš (Paul Dano), who can sense his “loneliness” and “emotional distress.” Though Sandler initially rebuffs the offer, the extraterrestrial helps him explore his thoughts and emotions.
“Six months into a solitary research mission to the edge of the solar system, an astronaut, Jakub, realizes that the marriage he left behind might not be waiting for him when he returns to Earth,” reads the official logline. “Desperate to fix things with his wife, Lenka, he is helped by a mysterious creature from the beginning of time he finds hiding in the bowels of his ship. Hanuš works with Jakub to make sense of what went wrong before it is too late.”
Spaceman is adapted from Jaroslav Kalfař’s 2017 novel Spaceman of Bohemia. It was directed by Johan Renck and written by Colby Day. The cast also features Kunal Nayyar, Lena Olin, and Isabella Rossellini.
