George-Clooney-in-GravityAlfonso Cuarón makes his long-anticipated return behind the camera this year with Gravity, the long-gestating project that will finally be hitting theatres in October.

Much of the specifics about the film have been kept under wraps. But we do know that Sandra Bullock and George Clooney are in the leading roles, with Bullock’s character, in particular, expected to be front and centre for the majority of the film.

The film’s October release date positions it as a strong contender for Warner Bros. in the upcoming awards race, with Cuarón returning with his first feature since the Oscar-nominated Children of Men.

The first trailer for Gravity is set to drop tomorrow. And ET have debuted a brief preview to keep us hooked until then.

Two astronauts must fight for survival after disaster strikes during a space mission.

Cuarón is directing from a script he wrote with his son, Jonás Cuarón (Año uña / Year of the Nail).

Gravity is set to be released in the US on October 4th, with its UK release date coming shortly after on 18th October. You can pretty much guarantee this will be one of the most talked-about films of the year, and is definitely a must-see this autumn/fall. Be sure to come back tomorrow for when the full trailer lands.
