Classic Trailer Rewatch: Danny Boyle's 'Sunshine' Brilliant Sci-Fi Film

"If it dies, we die." Sarchlight Pictures originally released this sci-fi classic Sunshine back in 2007, but no one went to see it back then when it opened in theaters. Now 18 years later it's considered one of the best modern sci-fi movies, even with the controversial horror ending. Made by director Danny Boyle & writer Alex Garland as another one of their collabs after the original 28 Days Later (made 5 years before this) the film follows a crew trying to take a special payload to the Sun to help reignite since it's "dying". It's one of my favorite films mostly for the intense realism & attention to detail. And its bleak but fascinating look at how being out in deep space makes people go mad. Sunshine is a sci-fi psychological thriller starring a great cast featuring Cillian Murphy as Capa, with Rose Byrne, Cliff Curtis, Chris Evans, Troy Garity, Michelle Yeoh, Benedict Wong, and Hiroyuki Sanada. The film takes place in 2057, where a group of astronauts aboard the Icarus II are sent on a dangerous mission towards the Sun. Posting these old trailers is also another excuse to say again how brilliant this film truly is and how it always deserves a rewatch if it has been a while since you've last seen it. Both of these trailers also use the epic Requiem for a Dream song. // Continue Reading ›
