SPACE STATION 76 Gets International Distribution from Sony Pictures

Quote:
Space adventures are about to get super-groovy, internationally speaking. Space Station 76, a retro-1970s-version-of-the-future dramedy, was just acquired by Sony Pictures Worldwide for international distribution rights at SXSW.

Helmed and co-written by actor Jack Plotnick, the retro-comedic dramedy revolves around a group of people — and more than a few robots, natch, because people of the 70s looooved them some robots — living on a space station in the future. It just so happens that future is slightly off-base with the actual future, but that’s what makes it fun! (The ’70s sound delightfully weird.) (EDITOR’S NOTE: Nah, kinda like now except no internet, fewer TV channels, and more polyester.) Upon the arrival of a new assistant captain (Liv Tyler), crew-related tensions and dark secrets bubble up to the surface and cause a calamity of the comedic order. Lust, jealousy, anger, and the rest jeopardize the crew’s chance of survival against the asteroid that’s also, conveniently, heading their way. The film stars Matt Bomer, Patrick Wilson, and Wilson’s truly amazing mustache in addition to Tyler, and also features Marisa Coughlan, Kylie Rogers, Kali Rocha, Jerry O’Connell, and Keir Dullea.

The film’s domestic distribution rights have yet to be secured, but a pick-up from Sony certainly bodes well for the likelihood that U.S. audiences will also have a chance to escape into this version of the future. Space Station 76 premiered on March 8th at SXSW.

I'd watch anything with Liv Tyler. I'd push Kate Upton aside just for the chance to say hi to Liv.

Didn't realize who the directer, Jack Plotnick was until I saw this video. He's one of those actors whose name I never know but I see him in a lot of things and always enjoy his work.

Matthew Boner is almost too pretty to be real. I still think that he should play Hal Jordan one day.

They suck.

James Garner dies and Entertainment Tonight's lead story was possible marital tension between Beyonce and Jay-Z.

Screw 'em.

It looks like something I want to like and to be better than it actually will be.

I don't know if this movie is going to be good or not, but I have to give them a LOT of credit---the poster looks like it came out in the '70s when ITV was producing Space: 1999 with Martin Landau and his wife Barbara Bain.

On the basis of the poster alone, I'm curious to see what this movie is like. Will it actually be a sci-fi movie or will it be making fun of the decade while pretending to be a sci-fi movie?

I admire what they're trying to do---it's ambitious and they've definitely got the perfect look for everything.

But the trailer wasn't funny--bad sign. Also, they *really* should have worked the soundtrack with some excellent '70's tunes aka Guardians. That would have out butts in the seats but it's very possible they couldn't get the rights.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I had thought Guardians picked intentionally horrible songs for comedic effect.

According to IMDB, this is getting a limited theatrical release this Friday (9/19), but it's not scheduled in any theater in NYC.

Yeah, the trailer wasn't funny. I kind of smiled at the cigarette lighter, but that was it.

I don't think this has a chance. Pity. I think the idea is sound and worthy.

But then the final cut had all those awesome songs in it, so "the suits" must have weighed in and squelched the idea of picking horrible songs.

Well, it had the Runaways and David Bowie, as well as all those horrible songs, so the suits must have compromised.
