Premise

As an astronaut sent to the edge of the galaxy to collect mysterious ancient dust finds his earthly life falling to pieces, he turns to the only voice who can help him try to put it back together. It just so happens to belong to a creature from the beginning of time lurking in the shadows of his ship.[2]

Cast

Production

In October 2020, Netflix announced that the novel Spaceman of Bohemia would be adapted by screenwriter Colby Day into a feature film of the same name directed by Johan Renck and starring Adam Sandler.[3] In April 2021, Carey Mulligan was added to the cast, and the film was retitled Spaceman.[4] On April 19, 2021 it was announced that Paul Dano and Kunal Nayyar joined the cast.[5]

Principal photography began in April 19, 2021, in New York City, and wrapped on July 1, 2021, in the Czech Republic.[6][7] In the Czech Republic, filming took place in Prague and surrounding areas of the country's Central Bohemian Region.[8]

Release

Spaceman will have its world premiere at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival in the Berlinale Special section in February 2024.[9] It is scheduled to be released on March 1, 2024,[10] delayed from the original 2023 release due to the impact of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[11]
