EXCLUSIVE: Samuel Goldwyn Films has picked up North American rights to Kyra Sedgwick’s second feature directorial, Space Oddity, based on Rebecca Banner’s Black List script.
Planets and lives collide as Alex (Kyle Allen) longs to travel to outer space and finally gets the opportunity to do so thanks to a privately-funded Mars colonization program. In the midst of his rigorous preparation, he meets Daisy (Alexandra Shipp), the new girl in town who’s trying to start over. The two wayward souls connect in unexpected ways, both of them harboring secrets that they’re desperately trying to overcome. However, when questions about the legitimacy of the program and the future of his parents’ flower farm begin to crop up, Alex finds himself questioning whether it’s easier to confront his past or fly away into the stars. The movie also stars Madeline Brewer (The Handmaid’s Tale), Carrie Preston (The Good Fight), Simon Helberg (Annette) and Kevin Bacon (City on a Hill).

“We are thrilled to bring Kyra Sedgwick’s feature film to audiences,” said Peter Goldwyn, president of Samuel Goldwyn Films. “Space Oddity has so many facets that seamlessly combine into a warm, engaging picture – swaying easily from a charming romance to a larger tale of the state of our world and the possibilities it holds.”
“Samuel Goldwyn Films is a dream distributor for me, as I’ve been such a fan of their films for many years. I’m grateful for their support and enthusiasm for Space Oddity. This film means the world to us and we can’t wait to share it with audiences,” said Sedgwick.
Space Oddity was produced by Valerie Stadler, Sedgwick and Meredith Bagby of Big Swing
