An ambitious trip to expand humanity's lifespan to the far reaches of space becomes a claustrophobic fight for survival for a trio of astronauts in the official trailer for Slingshot.

Directed by Mikael Håfström (1408, The Rite) from a screenplay by R. Scott Adams and Nathan Parker, Slingshot will be released in theaters on August 30th via Bleecker Street.

Synopsis: A psychological thriller starring Casey Affleck and Laurence Fishburne, SLINGSHOT follows an elite trio of astronauts aboard a years-long, possibly compromised mission to Saturn’s moon Titan. As the team gears up for a highly dangerous slingshot maneuver that will either catapult them to Titan or into deep space, it becomes increasingly difficult for one astronaut to maintain his grip on reality.
