Ground control to Baby Goose... Following up their collaboration on La La Land, star Ryan Gosling and director Damien Chazelle have reunited for First Man, which explores Neil Armstrong's time with NASA and his historical mission to become the first man to walk on the moon. The latest trailer has touched down safely, and you can watch it...
The story, adapted from James R. Hansen's eponymous book by Spotlight's Josh Singer, focuses on Armstrong and wife Janet (Claire Foy) in the years 1961-1969. The movie will explore the sacrifices and the cost – on Armstrong and on the nation – of one of the most dangerous missions in history.
Chazelle has rounded up a spectacular cast, which includes Kyle Chandler, Pablo Schreiber, Jason Clarke, Ciaran Hinds and Corey Stoll, among others and it has our space nerd sense tingling. The biggest challenge here will be that, thanks to history, we know how it all turns out. Yet it's the journey and the emotional effects on the men and women involved that will be the focus.
First Man lifts off at UK cinemas on 12 October.
