What is the plot of Distant?
Not everyone who goes to space gets the glory. Some are just blue-collar workers, like Andy Ramirez. He has not been trained for days like this so he can’t work as well as others. Andy’s ship crashed on an unknown planet. He ran out of oxygen and his spaceship suit didn’t work. Now he needs to find another human being to help him get out of this alive! When he connects via radio to a fellow crew member, Naomi. He thinks his prayers are answered. But then he finds out that she is trapped in her escape pod and he doesn’t have enough oxygen to make it up to her. Some aliens are stalking him the whole way.
I like movies about people in space. You can go with me on opening night if you want.

Distant was directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon. They are known for comedy films like Blades of Glory, The Switch, and Office Christmas Party. They are also set to direct Lyle, Lyle Crocodile which is a live-action film that will be an animated musical.

On the 21st of February, 2019, it was announced that Amblin Partners had bought a script called Distant. It was written by Spenser Cohen. A few months later, it was announced that Will Speck and Josh Gordon would direct this film. Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger, Anna Halberg, and Kevin Vafi are all producers for this movie.
In December of last year, Anthony Ramos was cast in the leading role of “Distant”. The next February, Rachel Brosnahan joined. Naomi Scott replaced Brosnahan in August 2020 because she had other more important work. Hivju joined the cast in October of 2020.
Distant started filming in Budapest, Hungary on September 21, 2020. They were there during the COVID-19 pandemic and had to follow COVID-19’s safety rules. This included wearing masks when working and practicing social distancing. Filming is done when the director of photography told us that it was over on November 13, 2020. Filming was hard because we had to test for the virus and wash our hands after. But now it’s done. It was still in post-production by May 2021, but it is now finished. Steven Price is the composer for the film score. Zachary Quinto is also in the movie.
