Writer/Director Jérémy Clapin, whose 2019 animated debut, I Lost My Body, earned an Academy Award nomination, makes the jump to live-action with the sci-fi thriller Meanwhile on Earth. Today, we have a first look trailer that introduces a strange mystery from space.
Metrograph Pictures releases Meanwhile on Earth in theaters on September 13, 2024.
In the film, “Elsa (Megan Northam, in her debut feature starring role), along with her family, is struggling following the disappearance of her brother Franck, an astronaut who vanished during his first mission. While stargazing one night, Elsa is shocked to receive contact from Franck, but her joy is short-lived when she learns of the dark and troubling forces behind Franck’s reappearance, forcing her to confront the lengths she will go for the brother she once feared was gone forever.”
Watch the trailer below, which goes heavy on the psychological as strange things begin to happen surrounding Elsa’s search for her brother.
It may also be worth noting that Clapin’s sophomore effort was edited by Jean-Christophe Bouzy, Titane and Raw filmmaker Julia Ducournau’s longtime film editor. Robrecht Heyvaert (Revenge) is the film’s cinematographer.
“Jérémy Clapin is a hugely talented filmmaker, and he has created an exciting and inspiring new work of science fiction. Meanwhile on Earth is reminiscent of the best of the genre, combining an innovative, visionary world and compelling supernatural premise with deeply emotional, real-life underpinnings,” Metrograph Pictures head David Laub previously told Deadline about the film’s acquisition.
Meanwhile on Earth is produced by Marc Du Pontavice and executive produced by Luc Bricault.
