VENICE, Italy - Brad Pitt has fought in wars, pulled off robbery heists and confronted rivals in the boxing ring during his career, but the Hollywood star says his most challenging film yet is playing an astronaut on a life-saving mission in the space epic “Ad Astra.”
Set in the near future when mankind has set up living stations and research centres on the moon and Mars, the film follows McBride as he makes his way into the vast abyss through spectacular landscapes and empty space.“This has been the most challenging film I have ever worked on,” Pitt, also a producer of the movie, told a news conference at the Venice Film Festival, where “Ad Astra” premiered on Thursday.
“I like to believe there is somewhere. To what degree, more advanced than us, less? Who knows ... Would we find that in our lifetime, don’t know. Not too concerned,” he said of his own beliefs. “We decided to try and tell the smallest possible story in the biggest possible tapestry ... The tiny becomes the universal,” director James Gray said.
“Ad Astra,” which also stars Liv Tyler, Ruth Negga and Donald Sutherland, is considered one of the must-sees during the festival, an important launch pad for the awards season.
