IFC Midnight debuted the official trailer for Rubikon, the disaster sci-fi thriller set in space, starring Julia Franz Richter, George Blagden, and Mark Ivanir.
In the movie, the planet is covered in a toxic fog following a catastrophe on Earth. The crew in the space station, must decide whether to risk their lives to get home and search for survivors, or stay safe in the station’s “algae symbiosis system”.
Directed by Magdalena Lauritsch in her feature directorial debut, the film will open in select US theaters and VOD on July 1, 2022.
2056. A toxic cloud of pollution has swallowed the earth, killing untold numbers. The world’s nations have dissolved, with all power now left in the hands of a few giant corporations. The rich retreat to sealed biodomes while the poor choke and starve. On the space station Rubikon, Hannah (Julia Franz Richter), Gavin (George Blagden), and Dimitri (Mark Ivanir) weigh the fate of the planet’s survivors. Should these crewmembers risk their own lives on a rescue mission to the surface, or ignore the old world to build a new one of safety and solitude, living off the station’s sophisticated algae symbiosis system? Against the vast canvas of the cosmos, three people with different worldviews debate their moral responsibility to the species, all while grappling with the timely agony of isolation.
