“We need unconventional candidates!” But do we really? Prime Video has revealed the official trailer for a comedy called Space Cadet, arriving for streaming worldwide on July 4th this summer. From the looks of it, this seems like it’s trying to be Legally Blonde but for NASA’s astronaut program instead of law school. “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for a Florida party girl.” Even that tagline is cringe. Emma Roberts stars as Tiffany “Rex” Simpson, who has always dreamed of going to space, and with a “doctored” application she gets into NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program. In over her head, can this Florida girl get through training and into the cosmos before she blows her cover? Written & directed by Liz W. Garcia, Space Cadet is a comedy about the power of being yourself, following your dreams and shooting for the stars. The cast includes Tom Hopper, Poppy Liu, Gabrielle Union, with Kuhoo Verma, Desi Lydic, Sebastián Yatra, and Yasha Jackson. This seems barely entertaining – it’s not going to be good.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Liz W. Garcia’s Space Cadet, direct from PV’s YouTube:
Tiffany “Rex” Simpson (Emma Roberts) has always dreamed of going to space, but life isn’t going quite as planned. Determined to turn things around, she aims high – and with the embellishing touch of her best friend Nadine (Poppy Liu), her “doctored” application lands her in NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program. In over her head, Rex relies on her quick wits, moxie & determination to get to the top of her class. NASA’s astronaut program directors Pam (Gabrielle Union) and Logan (Tom Hopper) both certainly take notice, but can this Florida girl get through training and into the cosmos before she blows her cover? Space Cadet is written and directed by American writer / filmmaker Liz W. Garcia, director of the films The Lifeguard and One Percent More Humid previously, and also creator of the “Memphis Beat” series. Produced by Jon Berg and Greg Silverman. Amazon will debut Garcia’s Space Cadet movie streaming on Prime Video worldwide starting on July 4th, 2024 coming soon. Anyone want to watch? Look like fun?
