Sandra Bullock Talks Alfonso Cuaron‘s ‘Gravity’ – Reveals Her & George Clooney Won’t Be Wearing Make-Up

In a recent interview with USA Today, Sandra Bullock spoke briefly on Alfonso Cuaron‘s (Children Of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) forthcoming outer-space survival thriller ‘Gravity.’ The actress revealed that both her and her co-star, George Clooney, won’t be wearing make-up: “God help us all when my face comes rushing at you with no makeup on. I’m going to apologize now, but Alfonso, in a brilliant move, said, ‘No makeup.’”

“Our vain little heads are going to be some massive 17-foot image. 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.”

Details on the film had been few and far between up until to this point. In a recent interview George Clooney had the following to say about ‘Gravity’: “A satellite blows up and space junk causes damage. We go out in space suits, and she and I are tethered together, floating through space.” It’s a two-hander with only two actors in the whole film. It is a very odd film, really. Two people in space. No monsters. It’s more like ’2001′ than an action film. Sandy is the lead. And she is beautiful in it. We have known each for way over 20 years. It’s fun to work with her.”

‘Gravity‘ is without doubt one of my most anticipated projects currently in production. Cuaron’s ‘Children Of Men’ was riveting, he really pushed the envelope with that film both visually and technically – I would even go on to say that it’s one of my favourite films of the last decade. The initial pairing for the project was to have been Angelina Jolie and Robert Downey Jr. Then came a protracted series of reversals that saw Jolie leave and come back, and actresses Marion Cotillard, Scarlett Johansson, Blake Lively and Natalie Portman involved with the movie to varying degrees. ‘Gravity’ is set for release November 21st, 2012.

The official synopsis for ‘Gravity’ is as follows; “Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (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.”
