New 'Voyagers' Trailer Reimagines Teenage Rebellion in Space

Lionsgate’s new sci-fi thriller stars Colin Farrell, Tye Sheridan and Lily-Rose Depp.

Ever wanted to see what Euphoria would be like in space? The new trailer for Lionsgate’s Voyagers will answer that very question whether you wanted it or not. After taking on the YA adaptation of Divergent , writer-director Neil Burger is back with his next sci-fi thriller. Starring Colin Farrell , Tye Sheridan , Lily-Rose Depp , Fionn Whitehead and Isaac Hempstead , Voyagers follows a group of 30 young men and women who travel through space searching for a new home.

The trailer fits the description of what you’d expect from the director of Limitless . From the footage shown, Voyagers seems like a straightforward, by-the-numbers sci-fi thriller set in space. Borrowing from several different films and tropes, our young adults are born and bred in a lab, their emotions tampered down through chemical manipulation drinks. Upon discovering this, Sheridan, Depp and the rest of the teens stop taking their medication and begin experiencing emotions and desires for the first time. Naturally, they engage in lots of fights, sex and any other form of hedonism. To top it all off, the spaceship begins to malfunction and it seems as though they may become stranded.

Studios have attempted to connect with YA audiences in the past few years with some sci-fi adventure flicks. Ready Player One , Ender’s Game , The 5th Wave , The Maze Runner and The Giver all achieved varying degrees of commercial and critical success. In addition to Voyagers , there are still more YA sci-fi films premiering in 2021, including the crazily delayed Chaos Walking starring Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley . (Ridley is also set to star in Burger's  upcoming psychological thriller The Marsh King’s Daughter .)

In terms of the star power behind  Voyagers , Farrell is always a joy to watch, as well as this incredible list of up-and-coming actors. All of these performers have an incredible list of projects in the works, with Sheridan being a particular standout. He is most recently attached to George Clooney’s next film The Tender Bar , the adaptation of the acclaimed Vietnam war book The Things They Carried , and Paul Schrader ’s next film The Card Counter . So Voyagers may have to just be on our list of films to watch, simply to see Sheridan before he’s a mega-star.

Voyagers will debut in theaters on April 9. Check out the trailer below and see what you think for yourself.

Everything We Know About Voyagers, The Carl Sagan Movie Starring Andrew Garfield

Carl Sagan, for those who may not know, was an astronomer and charismatic cosmologist who came into the public eye in 1980 with the broadcast of his PBS series "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage." That show, in addition to Sagan's many novels, books, and lectures, helped popularize astral science, bringing casual conversations about space to new heights. 

Sagan's popularity is understandable. He was affable and well-spoken, and he talked about fun scientific concepts like the existence of UFOs, and the actual, mathematical odds that an alien civilization might someday visit Earth; given the size of the universe, Sagan calculated that there are at least a million Earth-like civilizations out there somewhere. The film "Contact" is based on his novel. Sagan was also a major advocate for marijuana use, and was rather spiritual, despite often speaking out against religion or the existence of an intelligent God. He was a fascinating dude. 

Sagan passed away in 1996. The only mystery is why it's taken Hollywood so long to make a biopic of his life. That will change with the upcoming "Voyagers." As announced by Variety on May 5, 2023 , Andrew Garfield will star in the film as Sagan, with Daisy Edgar-Jones playing author/SETI scientist Ann Druyan, Sagan's third wife, to whom he was married to from 1981 until his death. It was Druyan's photos of Earth that largely inspired Sagan to write his book "Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space."

Here's everything we know about the movie so far.

What is Voyagers about?

Per Variety, "Voyagers" will be set in 1977, when Carl Sagan first met Ann Druyan, and while he was still married to his second wife Lynn Salzman. Salzman was one of the authors of the Voyager Golden Record, an audio disc, actually made of gold, that was sent into space on a SETI mission. The disc contained music, language samples, and a lot of general information about humanity that, the authors felt, would be useful to any extraterrestrials that might find it. Druyan, at the same time, was head of the Voyager Interstellar Message Project, and also helped produce the records. Sagan selected the contents of the record. The film will be presented as a love story.

Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio, who is directing "Voyagers," was one of the many kids who saw "Cosmos" when it was initially broadcast, and he found it to be a salve from the rigors of Augusto Pinochet's regime at the time. In Variety, he was quoted as saying:

"As a nine-year-old boy growing up during Chile's dictatorship, Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan's TV series 'Cosmos' had a profound impact on me, igniting my fascination with life's biggest questions and mysteries. [...] It is a dream to make a movie about the Golden Record and, within it, the inspiring love story between Carl and Ann. I'm thrilled that Andrew Garfield and Daisy Edgar-Jones will be at the center of this epic romance set against the infinite backdrop of space and time."

The Voyagers creative team

In addition to directing, Sebastián Lelio wrote the screenplay for "Voyagers" with Jessica Goldberg, based on interviews held with Ann Druyan. Lelio's previous directorial credits include "The Wonder," "A Fantastic Woman," and "Disobedience," as well as both "Gloria" and its English-language remake "Gloria Bell." He tends to make films about powerful individuals whose own character is pitted against a world that would leave them feeling oppressed. This was surely the case with "A Fantastic Woman," "Disobedience," and "Gloria."

Druyan herself is quoted by Variety as saying that she was waiting for the right creative team to tell her and Carl Sagan's stories:

"Imagine falling madly, truly in love with one of the greatest humans who ever lived, while creating a complex message about what it is to be alive, a golden record affixed to the first interstellar spacecraft launched by our species, bound to sail the Milky Way galaxy long after Earth ceases to exist. [...] It takes a movie to bring that mythic experience, that cosmic love story to vivid life. After years of searching, I feel that we have found exactly the right colleagues and artists to capture the magic of it."

The Voyagers cast

Daisy Edgar-Jones starred in the films "Fresh" and "Where the Crawdads Sing," in addition to the series "Normal People." She previously appeared opposite Andrew Garfield in the true crime drama series "Under the Banner of Heaven."

"Voyagers" will be yet another film in Garfield's filmography wherein he plays a character who wrestles with larger notions of faith and God. In 2016, Garfield starred in Martin Scorsese's "Silence," in which he played a 17th-century Jesuit monk who begins to have second thoughts about the presence of God in the world. That same year, Garfield starred in Mel Gibson's "Hacksaw Ridge," a film about a doctor who wanted to help treats soldiers during World War II, but whose Christianity prevented him from touching a weapon. Much of that film is about the pacifist underpinnings of most faiths.

Garfield also played the horrendous televangelist Jim Bakker in Michael Showalter's "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," a film largely about the hypocrisy of Bakker's "prosperity gospel" philosophies. When it comes to characters that foreground their faith, Garfield seems attracted.

The Ending Of Voyagers Explained

Voyagers , the latest science fiction film starring Tye Sheridan and Lily-Rose Depp is, in a way, a sort of Lord of the Flies set on a starship far from the reaches of Earth and human civilization. While the children in Lord of the Flies wind up trapped on an island by accident, the young people onboard this starship (which is more of an ark) are there by design. In both cases, the adolescent ensemble has to reckon with the chaos of a world without adult rules.

On its face, Voyagers has a familiar sci-fi premise: The Earth's time is running out. Richard ( Colin Farrell ), a scientist with a plan, takes a crew of young people who have never interacted with the rest of the world into space, where they will live and eventually breed the next generation of humans. The hope is that their children will eventually arrive on a new world for humanity to populate. So, a pretty standard execution of the generation ship trope.

The stars of Voyagers will never see that new world. They are the intermediary generation between the humans of Earth and their children, who will hopefully be the ones to kickstart human civilization all over again someplace new. The end of Voyagers and its meaning are tied to the chaos of what happens aboard that lonely vessel in the blackness of space. Here's the ending of  Voyagers explained.  Major spoilers ahead.

Voyagers ending isn't about the future, it's about right now

Richard's big plan once everyone's on the ship is to trick the kids into self-medicating with something called "The Blue," which is essentially a cocktail of anti-androgens and other meds designed to keep everybody sexless and docile. But the kids find out about the drug, and they stop taking it. Without The Blue, the kids become volatile, which results in Richard's death, leaving the kids to fend for themselves.

These kids may not have experienced much of Earth, but they're still human, so they do exactly what humans do — they vie for power through violence and manipulation. They even create a pretend evil alien designed to explain away Richard's death. More crewmembers die and, for a while there, it seems like the entire mission will end with no survivors.

The movie actually ends with a détente, however. Two male leaders, Christopher (Tye Sheridan) and Zac (Fionn Whitehead), who have been struggling for control of the mission, accept the compromise that Sela (Lily-Rose Depp) the medic will take charge. Christopher and Zac step down and cease hostilities, but they agree that everyone will stop taking The Blue.

The movie ends showing that these people do age, and do indeed procreate. Their progeny do make it to a new world. The resolution is a major contrast with the rest of the chaotic and violent third act. It begs a metaphorical reading of the movie's plot: Earth is our vessel, and like the crew of the fictional starship, we are often manipulated by one another into doing self-harm. We have these periods of volatility, during which we wonder if the human species will make it to see another day, but even when our interests seem diametrically opposed, it's the process of reconciliation that guarantees our future.

Voyagers looks to this future, but it reminds us of our past, too. It reminds us that there has always been chaos caused by humanity, which carries the risk of extinction. We've survived wars, we've endured genocides, and we've navigated the creation of planet-destroying weapons. All of these wounds are self-inflicted, and yet we are still here. What Voyagers is daring us to believe with its ending is that we will not only keep surviving, but that we'll thrive for so long that we'll reach out into the farthest parts of the galaxy to inhabit new worlds. It's an optimistic movie in the end.

Voyagers review – horny Lord of the Flies in space quickly crashes to earth

Colin Farrell leads a crew of genetically engineered and chemically subdued youths on a perilous journey in a film that doesn’t have the guts to explore its perverse premise

T here’s a tantalising R-rated premise at the centre of the PG-13-rated sci-fi thriller Voyagers. In the future, the Earth is slowly becoming uninhabitable (something that’s depressingly less fiction and more science) and so a crew is assembled, by a muted Colin Farrell , to travel to another planet to check for viability, a familiar set-up given a novel spin. Because of the length of the journey – a rather off-putting 86 years – participants will be created rather than procured, spliced together from the finest DNA and grown in a lab, their sole purpose to begin the trip, procreate and let their children and then their children lead the way.

But deep into the quest, a shocking discovery is made: the crew is being drugged. A blue liquid they’re told to take daily (explained away as some sort of enzyme mixture) is revealed to be something far more nefarious: a cocktail of chemicals aimed at subduing their impulses. By removing the ability to feel or desire extremities (fear, excitement, horniness) they are then made more docile and in turn more effective at achieving their mission. When two members decide to stop taking it, disaster strikes.

The possibilities teased by writer-director Neil Burger (who dealt with a loosely alternate version of this concept in 2011’s thrill pill drama Limitless) are intriguing. How would submissive, isolated youths growing up without any influence from the outside world deal with a sudden cracked upon universe of sexual desire and rampant emotions? With training designed specifically to cover the practical side of their trip, how would they then understand concepts of consent and responsibility? What dangers would arise? But such thorniness is soon blunted in the ho hum execution, a Lord of the Flies-lite drama that plays out more like a YA adaptation of a book fans would claim is far better.

The trippy neon trailer would have you believe that we’re entering Gaspar Noé-adjacent territory, all psychedelic head fuckery and playful perversity, but Burger is too restrained, too polite to take us anywhere quite so extreme. The heightened emotions felt by the crew are never really felt by us the audience, there’s a headiness that’s missing and in the brief moments when Burger does try to convey the characters’ giddy intensity, he relies on a failed visual motif, a dated montage of discordant images, closer to a musty 90s Windows screensaver than something from a film released in 2021. The script never really grapples with the dark implications of his conceit, how without regulation and law, the youths would embrace their wilder side in more horrifying ways, choosing instead to tiptoe rather than forcefully tread, a psychosexual cautionary tale rendered impotent.

Sex is lightly suggested (again in opposition to what the trailers promise) while any form of sexual fluidity is nowhere to be seen, Burger’s script perhaps, hopefully unintentionally implying that queerness is less nature and more nurture. But such big thinking would suggest that much thinking has actually gone into Voyagers, a generous assertion, given how anything remotely challenging is quickly chucked into deep space and replaced by rote formula. The crew inevitably divides into warring factions battling for supremacy but such little care is taken with the characters that we struggle to care who wins out. Tye Sheridan, Fionn Whitehead and Lily Rose-Depp are the only three who get the lightest of look-ins but not one of them is able to do much with the scraps they’ve been given, leaving the ramped-up conflict ineffective as the film crashes toward a predictable conclusion. The production design is sleek but anonymous and aside from the specifics of the set-up, there are no particularly inventive elements to Burger’s vision of the future, nothing to distract us from the rather dull human drama.

It’s all just too sanitised and safe, a journey that stumbles as it takes us from the unknown to the familiar, a film that plods when it should stride. How did a bracing idea about rebellion, sexual awakening and lawlessness turn out so boring?

Voyagers is out in cinemas in the US on 9 April, and in the UK on 8 October on Sky Cinema and NOW.

Voyagers Reviews

Voyagers ends where it should have begun, taking one too many detours to tell the compelling story of the first generation of lab-bred humans on a scouting mission to space.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 26, 2023

What starts as an interesting and intriguing concept unfortunately turns into an uncomfortable, bland and lacklustre sci-fi movie that is a chore to get through.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 6, 2023

Voyagers holds a well-known, successful sci-fi formula and takes it through the most uninteresting, unsurprising, frustratingly generic development path. It’s tough to find a positive aspect in such a hollow movie.

Full Review | Original Score: D- | Jul 24, 2023

The problem is that the film is mostly made of misdirections as it gestures towards interesting elements, both narratively and visually, that are far too short lived for their own good.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2022

You can’t help but think a deeper and slightly darker version of this movie would give some of its themes even more bite.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2022

The script fails to create a captivating plot and fills its landscape with shallow characters that are nowhere near compelling.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 8, 2022

The film, above and beyond anything else, is a terrible blend of uncomfortable morals and annoying immaturity that makes it clear that this project should be sent into space away from anyone who might think it is worth the time of day.

Full Review | Feb 22, 2022

Although many of Burger's visual techniques look neat enough, his screenplay proves unconvincing and overstated.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 12, 2022

Think of Voyagers as High Life for himbos.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 3, 2021

Its microcosmic allegory is thin, and the execution is unconvincing.

Full Review | Oct 13, 2021

Colin Farrell brings some weight to the proceedings but even he can't distract from the predictable teens-gone-wild-in-space plot.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 12, 2021

Ultimately, Voyagers might appeal to a very specific YA crowd, but even they might poke their holes through this one.

Full Review | Oct 9, 2021

"Lord of the Flies meets Sex Education in space" sounds like an unmissable yarn, yet nothing at any point in this criminally undernourished sci-fi lives up to the potential of its premise.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2021

All in all, a serviceable YA sci-fi story.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2021

A low-grade thriller that plays out like a zero-gravity Hollyoaks.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 7, 2021

The film relies too much on sci fi clichés and the plot holes become difficult to ignore. While the acting is good, the characterisation is lazy and dull. Moreover, the production design is wanting.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 6, 2021

Outside of the Lord of the Flies parallels, Voyagers is a familiar and rather derivative Young Adult thriller.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 5, 2021

Burger guides a world that looks and moves slickly, with clean production design suiting the sleek looks of crew members who could pass as fashion models.

Full Review | Jul 16, 2021

You can imagine a teacher showing this in school and then leading a class discussion about ethics until the bell rings for lunch.

Full Review | Jul 14, 2021

Neil Burger has updated and adapted 'Lord of the Flies' to teenagers in outer space but the characters are hopelessly superficial, chasing one another down long, antiseptic corridors.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 13, 2021

5 Netflix movies to watch instead of the 2024 Oscars

It’s March, which means there are two kinds of “madness” going on in popular culture: the “March Madness” in basketball, and the different kind of madness that is this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. That’s right, the 2024 Oscars is about to happen, and while it has its fair share of fans, not everyone wants to know who won Best Picture or who wore it best.

Damsel (2024)

Voyagers (2021), the amazing spider-man (2012), fury (2014), shortcomings (2023).

If you’re one of those people, we have you covered. No, we won’t do your taxes, but we can recommend five great Netflix movies to stream while the Oscars are being broadcast. From a 2024 fantasy that features a fire-spewing dragon to an underrated comic book movie starring 2024 Oscar nominee Emma Stone, these films are guaranteed to entertain you while you ignore the pomp and circumstance of Hollywood’s biggest night.

• Like Dune: Part Two’s Rebecca Ferguson? Then watch these 3 great movies and TV shows right now

Brand new to Netflix is Damsel , director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ‘s dark re-imagining of the “damsel in distress” fantasy trope. The movie stars Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown as Princess Elodie, the titular damsel who agrees to marry a handsome prince (Nick Robinson) to help her destitute village. Yet something sinister lurks behind the prince’s offer, and Elodie soon discovers that a blind date in the fantasy genre can be deadly. Did I mention there’s a fire-breathing dragon involved in all of this?

Damsel won’t win any Oscars, but it will win you over with its high concept, no-nonsense heroine, and impressive special effects. Brown is typically solid as Elodie, who transforms into a medieval Ellen Ripley as she realizes she must survive on her own and slay a dragon, and the supporting cast, which includes Robin Wright, Angela Bassett, and Ray Winstone, is decent.

Voyagers ‘ premise is deceptively simple: A climate-ravaged Earth has become uninhabitable in the near future, so a team of astrophysicists sends a ship full of children plus one adult protector on an 86-year-long space flight to a recently discovered hospitable planet. During the journey, however, the passengers, now fully grown teens, discover their sole adult supervisor has been killed. Who did it? Was it an alien? Or was it one of human voyagers with an axe to grind?

Forgotten due to its COVID-19 pandemic release, Voyagers is a decent B-level sci-fi thriller that has a straightforward plot, charismatic leads (Tye Sheridan, Lily Rose-Depp, and Fionn Whitehead act all mopey and hormonal as the shuttle passengers), and the ending, while a tad predictable, is satisfying. Voyagers is decently suspenseful, and it even has a good, if brief, appearance by The Banshees of Inisherin ‘s Colin Farrell, who is always a welcome addition to any movie.

At this point, even die-hard comic fans have superhero fatigue. After enduring the consecutive disasters of The Marvels , Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom , and Madame Web , it’s easy to understand why. Yet that doesn’t change the fact that in the last 15 years, we lived in a golden age of comic book films. One of the more underrated releases in this period was The Amazing Spider-Man , a moderately successful reboot that unfortunately spawned one of the worst sequels ever.

Andrew Garfield is Spider-Man in this iteration, and he and Emma Stone (as Spidey’s squeeze, Gwen Stacy) are the best thing about the movie. Both stars are investigating strange sci-fi shenanigans at Oscorp, a stand-in for Big Pharma that’s been covertly conducting illegal genetic testing. Dr. Curt Connors, Peter’s mentor, is somehow involved in all of this, and comic fans know Connors eventually turns into the fearsome The Lizard. The Amazing Spider-Man is enjoyably hokey, with a truly outstanding final sequence involving Spidey, the NYC skyline, and a bunch of construction cranes.

Netflix has an unusually good selection of war movies. Operation Mincemeat , Munich: The Edge of War , and others are all great choices to satiate that WWII fix, but the best of the bunch is David Ayer’s Fury , a movie starring Brad Pitt, a bunch of manly men, and a big ol’ tank. Who could ask for anything more?

In the waning days of World War II, the Allies make their final push toward Berlin to temper the Nazi resistance once and for all. To attempt to expedite V-E Day, grizzled vet Wardaddy (Pitt) leads a Sherman tank and her five-man crew behind treacherous enemy lines. As they attempt to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany, Wardaddy’s crew finds itself outnumbered and outgunned by superior German tank tech, leaving their skill and experience as their only advantage.

The first few months of the new year are always a good time to catch up on movies you may have missed in 2023, and Shortcomings probably qualifies. The film premiered quietly in the waning days of summer and got swallowed up by the Barbenheimer phenomenon .

Shortcomings tells the story of Ben (Justin H. Min), a struggling filmmaker living in Berkeley, California with his girlfriend, Miko (Ally Maki). When Miko moves away, Ben experiences an existential crisis that is alleviated somewhat by his comical talks with his best friend Alice (Sherry Cola). Shortcomings doesn’t have a lot of plot, but what it does have is good vibes and a perceptive look at modern relationships. If you like Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, you’ll like Shortcomings .

After escaping relatively unscathed from the horror show that was Madame Web, Sydney Sweeney is going full scream queen this week in an actual horror flick, Immaculate. It's one of this spring's two nunsploitation flicks, and it's beating The First Omen to theaters by two weeks. Sweeney also produced Immaculate, which casts her in the leading role as Sister Cecilia, a deeply religious young nun who is invited to live at a remote convent in Italy.

Of course, Immaculate wouldn't be a horror film if Cecilia's new home was idyllic, and let's just say that the movie's name wasn't randomly chosen. But assuming that you have seen Immaculate and that you enjoyed it, we've picked the three horror movies that you should watch next — and none of them are The Nun. The Convent (2018)

March is nearing its end, and the weekend holds the promise of freedom. But what is there to do? There's Road House, the new Amazon Prime Video remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze "classic." If you're a gamer in need of another open-world adventure, Rise of the Ronin has been getting decent reviews.

If watching movies at home is more your thing, then relax, we have you covered. Hulu has some of the best films around, and the following three movies are worth a watch this weekend. One is a classic 1980s comedy, another is a B-movie hybrid of genres, and the final recommended movie is a heartwarming biopic about a beloved entertainer. Baby Boom (1987)

Netflix and other streaming services do a pretty great job of making sure that there's always something new to watch every weekend. Sometimes, though, those new releases aren't what you're looking for. It's under those circumstances that you might be interested in trying to find a show or movie that is already on the service, but has flown under the radar.

It's with that in mind that we've selected three underrated gems from Netflix's back catalog that are definitely worth checking out.

Into The Basement With BAGHEAD: Trailer, Cast, And Everything We Know

Horror fans have lived by the advice of Simon Pegg’s Shaun for decades by popping to the pub and waiting for all their troubles to blow over. However, in  Baghead , it looks like that will be virtually impossible. Coming to Shudder next month and based on the 2017 short film of the same name, the eerie horror film follows Freya Allan’s Iris after she inherits a run-down Berlin pub.

Of course, that’s not all she inherits as she discovers a terrifying figure in the basement, Baghead, who can bring people back from the dead. Pretty soon word gets out about the bizarre phenomenon, with Lilly put in a dire predicament when offered a large sum of money by a grieving husband to bring back his wife.

Directed by Alberto Corredor, who also created the original short film,  Baghead  was released in the UK back in January and was met with mixed reviews, ultimately holding a lowly  18% score on Rotten Tomatoes . But despite this, audiences in the US are keen to explore the lore behind the film’s terrifying-looking 400-year-old demon stalking through a boozer’s beer cellar. 

With  Baghead’s   release date fast approaching , we take a look at everything you need to know before paying the price and talking to the dead.

Overview of  Baghead

Corredor released short film  Baghead  back in 2017, written by  Do Not Disturb  and  I Bark Therefore I Am  creator Lorcan Reilly. Both returned to the helm for the film’s feature-length adaptation alongside co-writers Christina Pamies and Bryce McGuire. Produced by StudioCanal, the film is set in Berlin with Corredor and his team scouting across the city to find the perfect location.

Speaking to  FilmHounds Magazine , Corredor revealed how most of the film’s budget went to the haunting basement where Baghead resides: “We scouted so much of Berlin to try to find a perfect location to use but they were either unavailable or impractical to film in so in the end the basement was a set build. We spent most of the budget on it I think as it is really one of the characters. Using a set allowed us to work faster and have more freedom too. Also, we could also show the passage of time using elements stored down there.”

Then you have the creation of the antagonist itself, a lso speaking to the publication , Allan described what it was like to see the Baghead creature for the first time on set: “It was hard because of the logistics on the set. The first time when we saw her creeping towards us, there wasn’t that much space and the staircase was literally right behind us and I just kept focusing on that. It made me not feel like I was really trapped! But I learned to lean in on the connection between Iris and this creature. It wasn’t actually scary per se, but there were a couple of times when the creature came really close to me and I was like, oh my god. But we also saw her before wandering around the set with a cappuccino.”

It was released in the UK on January 24, with the US trailing behind months later with it set to come to  Shudder  on April 5 as part of the streaming service’s  Halfway To Halloween  celebrations.

The  Baghead  Trailer

Released just in time for Christmas, the trailer for  Baghead  took us behind the bar and deep into the darkness of the film’s mythology. It introduces us to The Queen’s Head’s dank surroundings and Allan’s character, Iris, as she uncovers what lies beneath the floorboards.

Also released in 2023, it’s hard not to compare the film with the smash hit  Talk To Me  as we quickly learn the film deals with the loss of a parent and the all-encompassing grief that comes with it while our central character tries to navigate a “new normal.” Guided by the memories of her father and a spooky video tape, Iris discovers Baghead living in the depths of the building, unleashing hell as those who contact the dead through her must pay the price. Of course, we also get a glimpse of Baghead herself, with her appearance deeply steeped in the iconography of J-Horror, according to the director.

Adapting a short film to a feature film comes with its challenges, with Corredor revealing (per  Spotlight Report ): “I think the main one was to find a story that was truthful to the spirit of the short, but that could expand on the characters that we were creating. Obviously, the main challenge was for me to move from an environment where I had almost full control over what we were doing during the short to a different environment where there are many more voices, with producers, studios, and everyone is involved.”

Meet the Cast

After her breakthrough role as Ciri in  The Witcher , Freya Allan stars as lead Lily in Baghead . It comes ahead of her appearance in  Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  later this year as Mae, as well as the latest season of  The Witcher  with Liam Hemsworth replacing Geralt of Rivia following Henry Cavill’s exit. 

Talking to  Sci-Fi Now  about how she became involved with the project, she said: “I got sent the script and the short film and I then had a conversation with Alberto and decided to do it. I honestly didn’t know what I was going into really, but I was like, ‘Let’s do it! Let’s just have the challenge.’ It was my first feature role and I’ve realized that actually, you do learn a lot doing a horror film. You learn certain things that you wouldn’t necessarily have done before. It was a good experience.”

War Horse’s  Jeremy Irvine appears as Neil, while  Payback’s  Peter Mullan stars as Owen. 

Bridgerton  actress Ruby Barker will appear as Katie, Lily’s friend. Revealing why she took on the role, Barker told  Starburst Magazine : “It’s written really well, and I loved the premise. It was originally a short film, and I love the idea that there are a set of circumstances that are hella creepy, that you can bring back the dead for a couple of minutes. But at what cost? It’s really fascinating as it’s something we’ve all thought about, and if you haven’t yet then you surely will at some point in your life. Because grief is something we’re all going to experience. It’s something that unites everybody. So, yeah, it’s a cool idea with cool creatives behind it.”

The cast is rounded out by  The Perfumier’s  Anne Müller,  The Empress  star Svenja Jung,  Good Omens  and  Peaky Blinders  icon Ned Dennehy,  Dark’s  Julika Jenkins, and  You  actor Saffron Burrows. In an interview with  JB Hifi , Corredor opened up on how he bagged such a stellar line-up: “Sometimes it’s a matter of being in the right place at the right time,” explains Corredor of their casting.

“Obviously it helps a lot when you’ve got a picture company like StudioCanal behind you throwing their weight into it you for. But with Peter Mullen, it was a case of one day looking at our options and one of the producers asked me what I thought about Peter Mullen,” adding with a lingering sense of disbelief, “And I said, ‘Ah, who did you just say? The Pete Mullen?’ He was available and willing and the first thing I did was jump on a Zoom call and talk to him. I think it helped to have a strong short. They could watch that at the same time they were reading the script. When they already have a reference like that, they can see that the filmmaker can actually do something with that story.”

Storyline Breakdown

The official synopsis for  Baghead  reads: “Following the death of her estranged father, Iris learns she has inherited a run-down, centuries-old pub. She travels to Berlin to identify her father’s body and meet with The Solicitor (Dennehy) to discuss the estate. Little does she know, when the deed is signed, she will become inextricably tied to an unspeakable entity that resides in the pub’s basement–Baghead–a shape-shifting creature that can transform into the dead.

Two thousand in cash for two minutes with the creature is all it takes for desperate loved ones to ease their grief. Neil, who has lost his wife, is Iris’ first customer. Like her father, Iris is tempted to exploit the creature’s powers and help desperate people for a price. But she soon discovers breaking the two-minute rule can have terrifying consequences. Together with her best friend Katie, Iris must battle to keep control of Baghead and figure out how to destroy her, before she destroys them.”

As well as dealing with communicating with the dead – something so common in horror stories throughout the centuries it is almost a given –  Baghead  offers an interesting lamentation on grief, the loss of a parent, and the lengths we’re willing to go to to speak to loved ones from beyond the grave.

In an interview with  Horrorgins  about the themes within the film, Corredor said: “With horror, you can go into themes that are normally difficult to explore in, say, a drama without being corny or over the top. With horror, you can expand upon these themes further. I’m very curious about death, not in a morbid way. I think that’s something that attracted me to the story of Baghead. It’s the idea of something else existing when you pass on, but also not taking it too seriously. At the end of the day, people would still be people and still have problems. I think grief is one of the main motivators for all stories, including horror. We’re mortal and we’re all, at some point, asking ourselves what happens after life. In Baghead, everything is based on grief but from a different angle. That’s something else I liked about the story and what pulled me into it. It turns the tables.”

Since the release of the film’s trailer and with comparisons to  Talk To Me  rife, plenty of viewers have been speculating what tricks  Baghead  has up its sleeve (and desperately avoiding spoilers since its release in the UK). Allan herself let slip an element about the film’s ending when speaking to  GamesRadar  and musing about a potential return to the film’s universe. She said: “I make this joke to everyone: I don’t know what it is, but I always survive everything. The characters I play always survive. I’m waiting for the day I have a proper death.” So it feels safe to say Lily walks out of the pub with her life…Or could this be a trick straight from Baghead herself?

The long-awaited release of  Baghead  is right around the corner after dividing British audiences back in January. From a successful short film to a full feature with a star-studded cast featuring Allan, Mullan, and Barker, the gothic story gives both the haunted house theme and making a deal with the devil a unique twist, all while grappling with the devastating themes of loss and grief. 

In a year packed full of horror releases,  Baghead  comes in the wake of  Immaculate  and  Late Night With The Devil  leading the charge in March, sharing a release window with  The First Omen ,  Abigail , and  Civil War.  While  Baghead  may not be receiving the cinema experience, its streaming release makes it instantly accessible to many from the comfort of their own home, perfect for their next movie night – if they dare.

Baghead  comes to Shudder on April 5.

Voyager 1, First Craft in Interstellar Space, May Have Gone Dark

The 46-year-old probe, which flew by Jupiter and Saturn in its youth and inspired earthlings with images of the planet as a “Pale Blue Dot,” hasn’t sent usable data from interstellar space in months.

By Orlando Mayorquin

When Voyager 1 launched in 1977, scientists hoped it could do what it was built to do and take up-close images of Jupiter and Saturn. It did that — and much more.

Voyager 1 discovered active volcanoes, moons and planetary rings, proving along the way that Earth and all of humanity could be squished into a single pixel in a photograph, a “ pale blue dot, ” as the astronomer Carl Sagan called it. It stretched a four-year mission into the present day, embarking on the deepest journey ever into space.

Now, it may have bid its final farewell to that faraway dot.

Voyager 1 , the farthest man-made object in space, hasn’t sent coherent data to Earth since November. NASA has been trying to diagnose what the Voyager mission’s project manager, Suzanne Dodd, called the “most serious issue” the robotic probe has faced since she took the job in 2010.

The spacecraft encountered a glitch in one of its computers that has eliminated its ability to send engineering and science data back to Earth.

The loss of Voyager 1 would cap decades of scientific breakthroughs and signal the beginning of the end for a mission that has given shape to humanity’s most distant ambition and inspired generations to look to the skies.

“Scientifically, it’s a big loss,” Ms. Dodd said. “I think — emotionally — it’s maybe even a bigger loss.”

Voyager 1 is one half of the Voyager mission. It has a twin spacecraft, Voyager 2.

Launched in 1977, they were primarily built for a four-year trip to Jupiter and Saturn , expanding on earlier flybys by the Pioneer 10 and 11 probes.

The Voyager mission capitalized on a rare alignment of the outer planets — once every 175 years — allowing the probes to visit all four.

Using the gravity of each planet, the Voyager spacecraft could swing onto the next, according to NASA .

The mission to Jupiter and Saturn was a success.

The 1980s flybys yielded several new discoveries, including new insights about the so-called great red spot on Jupiter, the rings around Saturn and the many moons of each planet.

Voyager 2 also explored Uranus and Neptune , becoming in 1989 the only spacecraft to explore all four outer planets.

Voyager 1, meanwhile, had set a course for deep space, using its camera to photograph the planets it was leaving behind along the way. Voyager 2 would later begin its own trek into deep space.

“Anybody who is interested in space is interested in the things Voyager discovered about the outer planets and their moons,” said Kate Howells, the public education specialist at the Planetary Society, an organization co-founded by Dr. Sagan to promote space exploration.

“But I think the pale blue dot was one of those things that was sort of more poetic and touching,” she added.

On Valentine’s Day 1990, Voyager 1, darting 3.7 billion miles away from the sun toward the outer reaches of the solar system, turned around and snapped a photo of Earth that Dr. Sagan and others understood to be a humbling self-portrait of humanity.

“It’s known the world over, and it does connect humanity to the stars,” Ms. Dodd said of the mission.

She added: “I’ve had many, many many people come up to me and say: ‘Wow, I love Voyager. It’s what got me excited about space. It’s what got me thinking about our place here on Earth and what that means.’”

Ms. Howells, 35, counts herself among those people.

About 10 years ago, to celebrate the beginning of her space career, Ms. Howells spent her first paycheck from the Planetary Society to get a Voyager tattoo.

Though spacecraft “all kind of look the same,” she said, more people recognize the tattoo than she anticipated.

“I think that speaks to how famous Voyager is,” she said.

The Voyagers made their mark on popular culture , inspiring a highly intelligent “Voyager 6” in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” and references on “The X Files” and “The West Wing.”

Even as more advanced probes were launched from Earth, Voyager 1 continued to reliably enrich our understanding of space.

In 2012, it became the first man-made object to exit the heliosphere, the space around the solar system directly influenced by the sun. There is a technical debate among scientists around whether Voyager 1 has actually left the solar system, but, nonetheless, it became interstellar — traversing the space between stars.

That charted a new path for heliophysics, which looks at how the sun influences the space around it. In 2018, Voyager 2 followed its twin between the stars.

Before Voyager 1, scientific data on the sun’s gases and material came only from within the heliosphere’s confines, according to Dr. Jamie Rankin, Voyager’s deputy project scientist.

“And so now we can for the first time kind of connect the inside-out view from the outside-in,” Dr. Rankin said, “That’s a big part of it,” she added. “But the other half is simply that a lot of this material can’t be measured any other way than sending a spacecraft out there.”

Voyager 1 and 2 are the only such spacecraft. Before it went offline, Voyager 1 had been studying an anomalous disturbance in the magnetic field and plasma particles in interstellar space.

“Nothing else is getting launched to go out there,” Ms. Dodd said. “So that’s why we’re spending the time and being careful about trying to recover this spacecraft — because the science is so valuable.”

But recovery means getting under the hood of an aging spacecraft more than 15 billion miles away, equipped with the technology of yesteryear. It takes 45 hours to exchange information with the craft.

It has been repeated over the years that a smartphone has hundreds of thousands of times Voyager 1’s memory — and that the radio transmitter emits as many watts as a refrigerator lightbulb.

“There was one analogy given that is it’s like trying to figure out where your cursor is on your laptop screen when your laptop screen doesn’t work,” Ms. Dodd said.

Her team is still holding out hope, she said, especially as the tantalizing 50th launch anniversary in 2027 approaches. Voyager 1 has survived glitches before, though none as serious.

Voyager 2 is still operational, but aging. It has faced its own technical difficulties too.

NASA had already estimated that the nuclear-powered generators of both spacecrafts would likely die around 2025.

Even if the Voyager interstellar mission is near its end, the voyage still has far to go.

Voyager 1 and its twin, each 40,000 years away from the next closest star, will arguably remain on an indefinite mission.

“If Voyager should sometime in its distant future encounter beings from some other civilization in space, it bears a message,” Dr. Sagan said in a 1980 interview .

Each spacecraft carries a gold-plated phonograph record loaded with an array of sound recordings and images representing humanity’s richness, its diverse cultures and life on Earth.

“A gift across the cosmic ocean from one island of civilization to another,” Dr. Sagan said.

Screen Rant

Walter koenig's favorite star trek chekov moment is probably yours' too.

Walter Koenig's favorite Chekov moment comes from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and you can probably guess what it is.

• Walter Koenig's favorite Star Trek moment as Chekov is his hilarious "nuclear wessels" line from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
• The film stood out as Star Trek's first true comedy, showcasing the fun side of the original series characters.
• Walter Koenig values his time on the Enterprise and continues to be a beloved member of the Star Trek family.

Star Trek 's Walter Koenig revealed his favorite moment as Pavel Chekov is from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home . Koenig's Ensign Chekov joined the cast of Star Trek: The Original Series in the show's second season as the young navigator on the USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner). Over the course of his time on TOS and its subsequent films, Chekov performed numerous duties on the ship, including filling in for Spock (Leonard Nimoy) at the science station on the bridge.

Mr. Chekov was incredibly proud of his Russian heritage and would often claim (incorrectly) that various important inventions came from Russia. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry reportedly asked Koenig to emphasize his Russian accent to add an element of comic relief to the series. This decision led to some great moments throughout the series, most notably in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home . The Leonard Nimoy-directed fourth Star Trek film took a more humorous and universally appealing approach, which turned out to be a great success, as The Voyage Home is generally regarded as one of the best Star Trek films.

In Star Trek: Picard season 3, Walter Koenig provided the voice for Chekov's son Anton, who serves as President of the Federation. Anton is named after Anton Yelchin, who tragically died in 2016 after portraying Chekov in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films.

Walter Koenig's 10 Best Star Trek Chekov Moments

Walter koenig's favorite star trek chekov moment is "nuclear wessels", chekov has some hilarious moments in star trek iv: the voyage home..

Now 87 years old, Walter Koenig continues to make appearances at Star Trek conventions and events, speaking fondly of his time on the Enterprise. On the last day of Star Trek: The Cruise VII, IGN sat down with Koenig for an interview, where he spoke about his favorite Star Trek moment. Read his quote below:

It was not that significant, but it was just such a delight... And that was the improvisation that I did in Star Trek IV [The Voyage Home] when I approached the crowd and asked them where the ‘nuclear wessels’ were. That was just great fun. I loved the opportunity to do comedy anyway, and that was a delightful little moment. It was a moment. It was not more than a moment. But when Leonard [Nimoy, who directed the film] finally yelled, ‘Cut,’ and I looked at his big, broad smile on his face, I felt really good. And I thought that this was great fun.

Every main character from Star Trek: The Original Series has something to do in The Voyage Home , and the film distinguishes itself as Star Trek's first true comedy film. Humor has always been a part of the Star Trek franchise, and The Voyage Home leans into that in the best way. Between Chekov's "nuclear wessels" moment and Spock's attempts to master 20th-century cursing, The Voyage Home has some of Star Trek's most quotable lines . The cast members of TOS are truly at their funniest and Leonard Nimoy's direction seems to bring out the best in everybody.

Star Trek IV Was Walter Koenig's Best Movie As Chekov

Chekov had more to do than in previous star trek films..

While Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan had some strong moments for Chekov as well, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home gave the character more to do and made him more central to the plot. The Voyage Home follows Kirk and his Enterprise crew as they travel back in time to 1986 San Franciso in order to save the future. The story involves finding a couple of humpback whales and taking them back to the future so that their whale song can be used to divert a dangerous probe. Star Trek IV' s plot is ultimately secondary to the fun of watching Kirk and his friends navigate the 20th century.

Kirk and his friends soon split up to accomplish their objective, and Chekov and Lt. Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) are sent to find a nuclear reactor that will be necessary to power their ship for the journey home. As Chekov begins asking people where the "nuclear wessels" are, a real-life San Francisco police officer eyes him suspiciously, unaware of the movie being filmed. In the end, Kirk and his crew save the Earth and set off for more adventures on the newly christened USS Enterprise-A. Walter Koenig will always be a beloved member of the Star Trek family, and his "nuclear wessels" moment remains as iconic and memorable as ever.

Share All sharing options for: There were an obscene amount of trailers this week

Summer blockbuster is near, and if you need proof look no further than the avalanche of trailers that came out this week. From House of the Dragon and Furiosa to Beetlejuice 2 and a terrifically ill-conceived children’s book adaptation, it seems like every studio wanted to be out in force advertising summer wares this week.

And the timing makes sense.
