Adam Sandleris taking a trip to the stars — and into his own consciousness — in his new movie.
Spacemanstars Sandler as an astronaut named Jakub andCarey Mulliganas his earthbound wife Lenka.
As the latest trailer indicates,Spacemanis far more than a marital drama set on “the edge of the solar system,” as a synopsis reads. The film is a visually trippy dive into Jakub’s psyche as he navigates a lone journey and struggles with the vast loneliness of space and the status of his marriage.
