Directed by Noah Hawley, Lucy in the Sky takes us on Lucy’s journey from outer space to Earth and the ever-changing reality of life through her eyes and soul.

Brian C. Brown and Elliott DiGuiseppi co-wrote the screenplay with Hawley adding final touches. The movie trailer spirals in different directions, and it’s hard to connect to the story in general.

I didn’t recognize Natalie Portman, who plays Lucy Cola, at first. Her makeup and hairstyle design molded her astronaut look. Joe Hamm stars as her husband, Mark Goodwin. He seems to be her anchor and tries to save her from after returning to Earth from a life-changing mission in space. She begins to slowly unravel and lose touch with reality. Of course, the question is why is she losing touch with reality.

It appears Portman is gravitating to themes where the main character ventures to another reality or altered reality. Like her appearance in Annihilation where she enters the shimmering to find out what happened to her husband and coming to terms with self- discovery of her failing marriage.

The digital version of the movie is out on the streets. The package includes deleted scenes, director’s journey, and four featurettes on the making of the film.

Lucy in the Sky cast includes Zazie Beetz, Ellen Burstyn, and Dan Stevens.

The next trailer is called “Trailer C” and delineates the story more. It looks like Portman’s character goes rogue, and the story gets dark. It’s unclear who is the bad guy — Hamm’s character or Portman’s.

I noticed in the credits that Reese Witherspoon is one of the producers of the movie.
