Alfonso Cuarón's 'Gravity' clips: 'Detached,' 'Drifting' and 'I Got You'
July 25, 2013
— Sandra Bullock is not ready yet to be an astronaut, at least not in real life.
And based on the three clips that debuted this week of her as a spacewalker in "Gravity," Warner Brother's upcoming sci-fi movie directed by Alfonso Cuarón and co-starring George Clooney, it would be hard to fault her.
"My feet feel really good on the ground," Bullock told the entertainment news television program Extra. "Someone asked me [if I wanted to fly in space] and said 'If your son wanted you to go?' and I said, 'If he asked me to go, if he was already an adult, I would go if I knew he would be fine if I perished.'"
In "Gravity," Bullock's character, first-time astronaut Dr. Ryan Stone, faces the real possibility of perishing.
