William Earl administrator SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses plot twists in the new movie “I.S.S.“ “I.S.S.” is a thriller set in outer space, but the creative team was filled with pioneers in their own right. “Blackfish” director Gabriela Cowperthwaite helmed the project, with Oscar winner Ariana DeBose suiting up for the lead role — both creatives playing in a new genre for the first time. The result is a fleet, pulpy film in which three American and three Russian astronauts are living and working together on an international space station.
But things turn dire quickly when their governments declare war on each other and both groups are instructed to commandeer the space station by any means necessary. Cowperthwaite and DeBose spoke to Variety about the challenges of shooting an accurate space move, how Russia’s real-life invasion of Ukraine almost put the film in jeopardy and being baffled by the ending. Gabriela, you’ve spent your career working on documentaries and feature films based on true stories. What was it about “I.S.S.” that made you want to tackle this original story? Cowperthwaite: For this one, I get to be a storyteller without making any enemies in the real world, which my documentaries don’t always let me do.
So there was that, but honestly, I just read this cool script with a great conceit that I couldn’t believe hadn’t been done before, and it allowed me to make a film I would go see. There’s this earnest documentary filmmaking side and real-life storytelling, all that stuff. But I’m a popcorn-chomping moviegoer.
I love horror. I love sci-fi. I love thrillers.
