Naja Hill sits down with Director Alfonso Cuaron to talk about his new movie GRAVITY

Academy Award® winners Sandra Bullock ("The Blind Side") and George Clooney ("Syriana") star in "Gravity," a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón ("Children of Men").
Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney) in command. But on a seemingly routine mission, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone— tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.
But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
"Gravity" was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón, and produced by Alfonso Cuarón and David Heyman (the "Harry Potter" films). Chris deFaria, Nikki Penny and Stephen Jones served as executive producers.

ALFONSO CUARÓN (Director/Screenwriter/Producer/Editor) is a three-time Oscar® nominee, who has written and directed a wide range of acclaimed films.
He made his feature film directorial debut in 1991 with "Sólo Con Tu Pareja" ("Love in the Time of Hysteria"), a dark comedy starring Daniel Giménez Cacho and Claudia Ramírez, which was the biggest box office hit in Mexico in 1992 and garnered Cuarón an Ariel Award as co-writer. Impressed by Cuarón's first film effort, Sydney Pollack hired him to direct "Murder, Obliquely," an episode of the neo-noir "Fallen Angels" series on Showtime. The episode, starring Laura Dern and Alan Rickman, earned Cuarón the 1993 Cable ACE Award for Best Director.
Cuarón made his American feature film debut with the critically acclaimed 1995 motion picture adaptation of the beloved children's book A Little Princess. The film was nominated for Academy Awards® for Best Cinematography and Art Direction, and won the Los Angeles Film Critics New Generation Award. That was followed in 1998 by "Great Expectations," a contemporary adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel, which starred Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert De Niro, Anne Bancroft and Ethan Hawke.
Cuarón then returned to Mexico to direct a Spanish-speaking cast in the funny, provocative and controversial road comedy "Y Tu Mamá También," for which he received an Oscar® nomination for Best Original Screenplay (written with his brother Carlos Cuarón) and BAFTA nominations for Best Foreign Film and Best Original Screenplay. In 2003, he directed "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the third film in the most successful motion picture franchise of all time, based on the best-selling books by author J.K. Rowling.

Cuarόn's next project, "Children of Men," which he co-wrote with Timothy Sexton, was one of the most talked about films of 2006, and was celebrated by critics and film fans for its groundbreaking techniques, including several high-impact tracking shots. The film brought two Oscar® nominations to Cuarón, for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing. It also received a number of other awards and nominations, including a third Oscar® nod for Best Cinematography, and two BAFTA Awards, for Best Cinematography and Best Production Design.
After producing friend Guillermo del Toro's globally acclaimed 2006 film "Pan's Labyrinth," Cuarón formed the independent production company Cha Cha Cha with fellow Mexican-born filmmakers del Toro and director Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárritu. The company produced Iñárritu's Oscar®- and BAFTA Award-nominated 2010 feature "Biutiful."
