This movie was just recently brought to my attention. Anyone else know anything about it? This is what I've found so far:<br /><br /><br />Danny Boyle's Sunshine (Adam SMASH!)<br /><br /><i>This movie is gonna be AWESOME. It sort of reminds me of a more action packed “Solaris†or something like that. Danny Boyle’s Sunshine looks beautiful. That’s the only word to describe it. Story might be pretty good also, which is a plus.<br /><br />Synopsis:<br /><br />The Sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. Soon the crew are fighting not only for their lives, but their sanity....</i><br /><br /><br />Sunshine (2007) - Trivia (imdb)<br /><br /><i>* The plot does not revolve around the sun dying in the normal sense: this is not due for around five billion years based on our understanding of nuclear fusion. It has instead been "infected" with a "Q-ball" - a supersymmetric nucleus, left over from the big bang - that is disrupting the normal matter. This is a theoretical particle that scientists at CERN are currently trying to confirm, and was one of the many contributions of the science advisor. The film's bomb is meant to blast the Q-ball to its constituent parts which will then naturally decay, allowing the sun to return to normal.<br /><br />* Alex Garland wrote the film as a "love letter" to psychologically-minded science-fiction, and also a film about atheism and "meeting God"....</i><br /><br /><br />Check out Fox Searchlight's flipbook for the movie here: Phot
