Jennifer Lawrence Wants Mystique To Join Guardians Of The Galaxy
The ramifications of waking people up from cryogenic stasis sooner than planned.
Blue-collar engineer Jim (Chris Pratt) wakes up from stasis way too early during a 120-year trip on an expensive space yacht to a new planet. So he’s become obsolete and wants to travel to a distant planet, to a new world and distant future, hoping he’ll be useful. One of the final sci-fi entries of the year is Passengers, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. He is one of 5,000-plus souls in suspended hibernation on the starship Avalon, “the Homestead Company’s premier interstellar airliner”. An equipment malfunction has woken him up 90 years early, and he’s now doomed to live out the rest of his life surrounded by sushi bars and infinity pools, but not a single human companion. What’s their plan? How many other surprises does the ship hold?
“It did feel more intimate than anything I had ever done”.
Chris Pratt: “We’re gonna vacation in Miami together”.
Jennifer Lawrence to Appear in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2?’ Here’s where things get sketchy. “I believed the script was flawless”, Pratt said. But she’s no damsel in distress, and unlike Sleeping Beauty she went to sleep by choice. He fights with himself over whether to do it. Until Aurora finds out about what Jim did, and is justifiably enraged. A chemistry builds between the characters as they accept their inevitable fate of riding this ship to the end of their worlds. Except Aurora has no idea she’s kind of a hostage.
If only the film-makers spent more time and energy giving our leads better lines. “I would choose that over doing another ‘X-Men’ movie maybe”, she laughed.
In a Hollywood trade publication report, Jennifer Lawrence, 26 and recent Oscar victor was paid $20M for the film.
Be it Aurora trapped in a bubble of water in a gravity free moment or Jim braving outer space in an effort make repairs, we/u0027ve seen similar sequences before at the movies but they are well applied in Passengers //em through our attachment to these two hopeless adventurers.
It’s like “Titanic” – in space. Not many movies with this size and scope would even think to touch a thorny moral dilemma like this; they’re reserved for small budget indies where a film can afford to potentially polarize its audience. They’re essentially the only people in this film, aside from the occasional customer-service hologram, a gentlemanly robot-bartender named Arthur (Michael Sheen, from the waist up) and a guest star who won’t be revealed here. Would you forgive your killer?
On the other hand, Marvel will not have any source material to work with that will bring Mystique, even with Lawrence’s crowd appeal, into the paths of Peter Quill and his gang of misfits. It opens interesting questions, I think fascinating questions, about how we carry guilt and the dark power of secrets.
Another hard component to portray in movies that deal with computer interfaces is to create something that the audience can find at least plausible within the film’s environment.
