The Big Sleep

 A boy, a girl, a starship… David Grove hitches a ride aboard epic deep-space romance

When Jon Spaihts wrote the script for Passengers a decade ago, he envisioned a new kind of science fiction. “I wanted a story filled with wonder and optimism about the future, and, most of all, I wanted it to be richly imbued with humanity,” Spaihts, one of the writers of Doctor Strange, tells SFX. “I was tired of dystopias and war stories. Once I hit upon the idea of waking up too soon on a colony ship, the core of the story unfolded rapidly with a kind of necessity, as if there was only one way it could play out.”

Directed by The Imitation Game’s Morten Tyldum,
