Passengers take space on a spaceship on its way to colonize a aloof satellite , with all the colonists in suspend animation — except that one of them ( Reeves ) wakes up early due to a malfunction . He ’s face with the prospect of 90 years on a spaceship alone , so he does something ultra - selfish — he awaken a beautiful woman too soon , and claim that her awakening was an accident , just like his . finally , they discover the ship is in trouble and might not pass its terminus . It ’s a “ unique making love level , ” allot toDeadline .
Brian Kirk , who ’s target episodes of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire , will make this his big - screen debut .
Whenwe interviewed Spaihts last yr , we asked whether it would be hard for audience to relate to such a selfish main grapheme . He responded :

If your quality does something indefensible and find shame about that … well , who ca n’t touch base to that ? We ’ve all done that . I cogitate it ’s easier to relate to that guy than to a saint of virtue .
If your case wickedness and engages in denial or rationalisation or other evasive behaviors … that ’s human too .
What ’s hard is relating to character who seem to be fundamentally unfit multitude : heartless , cruel , sadistic . Nobody likes a narcissist or a sociopath . But if your quality ’s a good person who ’s done defective things … that ’s a dissimilar matter . Many good account start there .
