EVENT HORIZON’s Laurence Fishburne is on another dangerous voyage.

Bleecker Street releases SLINGSHOT to theaters August 30. Directed by Mikael Håfström (1408) from a screenplay by R. Scott Adams and Nathan Parker, it also stars Casey Affleck, Emily Beecham, Tomer Capone and David Morrissey (THE WALKING DEAD). The synopsis: “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.”
