Spaceman (2024) - Drama & Expectations

This has been a project that took too long probably because of the Pandemic and short after that the Hollywood Strike that affected a lot of productions, the new movie featuring Adam Sandler "Spaceman (2024)" that finish production on 2021 then as mention many other Netflix productions got backlog until 2023, Adam Sandler plays Jakub Procházka, the movie will have a duration of 1 hour and 47 minutes its based on the book "Spaceman of Bohemia" by Jaroslav Kalfar, its a science fiction novel that tells the story of an astronaut that goes on a trip to Venus and all of the sudden finds a strange creature on his ship, this is another novel adaptation which seem to be the hot topic but as usual I'm a bit skeptic if this will be enough time to fit everything that happens on the novel, this is the never ending problem with adaptations but some of the for viewers end up been fine although for the fans doesn't and some other times it's worst because they do make it feel like everything is in a rush by cutting down too much scenes or probably I'm just getting ahead of myself.

The trailer doesn't show us much either, the movie was written by Colby Day and directed by Johan Renck who has been in charge of the series Chernobyl, Breaking Bad and the first season of The Walking Dead. Johan Renck has been recognized for his skill in science fiction and thrillers and his ability to create a tense and terrifying atmosphere, so this film should bring some adventure, drama and that spark of suspense.

The protagonist of Spaceman is Adam Sandler playing Jakub Procházka. I don't remember a Sandler movie that isn't funny. in fact, he is one of the most popular comedians in Hollywood but many have been waiting more serious roles from him, one of his most recent as Howard Ratner, a degenerate gambler; in the movie "Uncut Gems" where many of his fans like this side of Sandler's work, many videos that talk about this movie have mention that this could the one, this could Adam Sandlers best movie ever and will be difficult to forget but who knows, on the other hand we have Paul Dano, from "The Batman" where he played the role of "The Riddler"; gives life to the voice of the alien spider that Jakub finds on his ship and Carey Mulligan plays Lenka Procházka, Jakub's wife. I remember seen her in “The Great Gatsby”, another great actor and a favorite for me is Kunal Nayyar recognized for his role as Rajesh in “The Big Bang Theory” , one of my personal favorite comedies every; he plays Peter, a technician who is part of Jakub's mission.

“Spaceman” is the story of astronaut Jakub Procházka, the first Check Replubic astronaut who is sent on a mission to the edge of the galaxy near Venus to get a special dust, who in the middle of his trip encounters a creature, an extraterrestrial spider that we will discover if it is real or if it is a product of the astronaut's imagination, its hard to say by now as ONLY IF I HAD READ THE NOVEL!! I would know but I think that Jakub could be just facing a mental blockage because of his long trip causing him to see this alien, he goes to space for months and leaves his wife on earth, I think at some point this movie will give me "Interstellar" vibes when Cooper travels across time and dimensions after he fall into Gargantua because how did this spider shows up all of the sudden?, well for normie viewers like me there is not much information about yet other than a 35 second teaser trailer of the movie.

We have seen how in other movies about space, astronauts go through this process of knowing themself because they are all alone for many months, this spider could very well be a product of his imagination, from the novel insights I found online the alien and Jakub became best friends so its very possible that he starts to discuss and solve his problems and life dilemmas, specially leaving his wife behind who doesn't seem agree that he took this mission.

This very well for some could be a boring movie because I can imagine that lots of the scenes will be just Jakub inside the space ship talking to Hanus his alien friend, I found an audio book of the Novel that I will leave the link below, was thinking to upload to 3Speak but I'm not sure about the copyrights of this video.

To get more conclusions and expectations of this movie I would like to get a real trailer and I think we will get that soon, March is less than two months from now, not use to make articles on so little data like a teaser but it intrigue me when Hanus says "same as you I left my planet....through galaxies, through black holes..." so I couldn't resist learning a bit more about the movie, its been some time since "Interstellar" a movie very related to black holes, a mystery that intrigues me a lot because of all the possibilities.
