As card - carrying members
of the Cuarón fan club («Y Tu Mama Tambien» was a blistering revitalization
of his career; «Prisoner
of Azkaban «was the best Harry Potter film by a country mile; and «Children
of Men» is one
of the finest films
of its decade), we've been following the tortuous
progress of «Gravity» for what feels like forever, as Cuarón had a bitch
of a time financing this 3D - shot, effects - driven film, and suffered
several casting knock backs as A-listers
signed on and then off the project (Robert Downey Jr., Angelina Jolie, among others).
Like the initial phase
of living one's dream, he had made more
progresses to write
several novellas and a short story and
sign the contract with an Amazon imprint.
