So, remember when I talked about how I think that Alfonso Cuaron should be the one they pick to direct The Hobbit? Well, that's probably not going to happen, because he apparently has another high profile project lined up. The sci-fi thriller film Gravity, starring Robert Downey Jr. is set in space as a woman attempts to make her way back to earth after a satellite crash sets off a chain reaction of further crashes. What's the biggest news we've gotten from it? The opening shot of the film is likely to be 20 minutes long! That leaves a hell of a lot to be expected of that opening shot, but I'm sure Cuaron's team can pulls it off. One of the best things about Children of Men was the long shots that artfully pulled off the action going on in the film. It really gives a sense that the events are happening in real time far better than 24 does with the ticking clock. People are comparing the film to Avatar in that the film will be 60% computer generated and in 3D. I'm sure that Gravity won't be as much of a Titanic failure story wise as Avatar was.
