Netflix’s latest trailer for “Spaceman” reveals a captivating glimpse into Adam Sandler’s dramatic role as astronaut Jakub. Set against the backdrop of a solitary space mission to the solar system’s edge, the film delves into Jakub’s struggle with his fraying marriage. The plot thickens with the introduction of a mysterious, ancient creature, voiced by Paul Dano, who becomes an unlikely source of guidance for Jakub.
This sci-fi drama, adapted from Jaroslav Kalfař’s novel “Spaceman of Bohemia,” (2017) is directed by the Emmy-winning Johan Renck. The trailer showcases Sandler in a nuanced performance, far removed from his usual comedic roles, as he navigates the complexities of personal relationships while isolated in the vastness of space. “Spaceman” promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of human connections and the emotional toll of space exploration, offering viewers a unique blend of science fiction and deep emotional storytelling.
