Ad Astra: Brad Pitt Starrer's New Poster Reminds Us of These Space Films!
A new poster of Brad Pitt starrer Ad Astra is here and while it is amazing to see the actor turn into an astronaut, we wish the poster was a tad bit different.
Brad Pitt is all set to star in a space film next, titled Ad Astra and we have to say Hollywood has already had a handful of those. The trailer of the film dropped earlier this month and the film revolves around Brad Pitt playing an astronaut who heads out to space to look for his father, played by Tommy Lee Jones. In the trailer, we see Pitt setting out for a difficult mission to search for his father who has gone missing on his space mission to find Neptune. A new poster of the film has now been released where we see Brad's astronaut looking worried.
What's interesting is that most of the film's that were set in space have had almost similar posters. Be it Ryan Gosling's First Man or George Clooney starrer and Gravity, all three posters almost look similar with the astronauts in their gears.

Here are other posters similar to Ad Astra:
While all of these films have distinct storylines, it's a shame that these posters look so similar. Ad Astra's trailer did receive positive responses and many have praised the film's special effects particularly. Hollywood has produced a string of space films which starred popular actors such as Matthew McConaughey (Interstellar), Matt Damon (The Martian) etc. Although, this is the first time we will see Pitt star in the role of an astronaut and that is definitely going to be interesting. We just wish the makers had done something more interesting with the poster. Post Split from Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt Focusing on Himself.
Ad Astra has been directed by James Gray and is all set to release on September 20. Before this film, Brad Pitt has another big release lined up. He will be next seen in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time In Hollywood which is all set to release in July 2019. The film also stars Leonardo DiCaprio along with Pitt and this is the first time the two actors have teamed up for a film.
