“Europa”

Some trailers are coming out for the movie “Europa” (previously mentioned here more than a year ago) due for release in 2013:

Now, it *looks* really pretty good.. Europa looks like Europa, Jupiter looks like Jupiter, the spacecraft, from what I can see, looks like a spacecraft.

The story, from what I can tell, is about a privately funded mission to Europa that winds up finding life of some kind (this being a movie, you can bet it’s Scary Life). I hope they deal – reasonably – with the fact that Europa is in a scary, scary radiation environment; stepping outside in a normal space suit would be a death sentence.

Also posted is 14 minutes worth of silent video, for what it’s worth:
