The Sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. Soon the crew are fighting not only for their lives, but their sanity. The film once again pairs director Danny Boyle with writer Alex Garland and producer Andrew Macdonald, who previously teamed up for the thinking person's zombie film, 28 Days Later . The cast is led by Rose Byrne ( Troy ), Cliff Curtis ( Whale Rider ), Chris Evans ( Fantastic Four ), Troy Garity ( After the Sunset ), Cillian Murphy ( 28 Days Later ), Hiroyuki Sanada ( The Last Samurai ), Benedict Wong ( Dirty Pretty Things ) and Michelle Yeoh ( Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ).
