Director James Gray muses on 'Ad Astra'
The director of "Ad Astra" is apologizing for keeping things highbrow, which is no reason to apologize at all. Anyone who has watched a Gray movie, which he writes or co-writes as well as directs, will know this extends to his filmmaking. "Ad Astra," Gray's seventh feature, sees the director handed a significantly larger budget than usual to realize his ambitious near-future sci-fi thriller. "Ad Astra" wrestles with it too (although it would be egregious to spoil the film's answer). "Ad Astra" is released in the UK on September 18 and in the US on September 20.
