Along with Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy (The Crown), plays Janet Shearon, the astronaut’s first wife and Kyle Chandler (Early Edition, Super 8, The Wolf of Wall Street…) Deke Slayton, member of the ” Original Seven “. First group of American astronauts, whose legend was told in The Right Stuff (1983) by Philip Kaufman based on Tom Wolfe’s book. As one does not change a winner team, Justin Horowitz – Oscar for the best original music for La La Land and composer of Whiplash‘s BO the film that revealed Chazelle – signs a thriller score at the antipodes of his jazz compositions. To infinity and beyond !
