Prospect (2018) - Official Trailer

"Official DUST trailer for "Prospect" by Zeek Earl and Chris Caldwell
Coming to theaters November 2nd

A teenage girl and her father travel to a remote alien moon, aiming to strike it rich. They've secured a contract to harvest a large deposit of the elusive gems hidden in the depths of the moon's toxic forest. But there are others roving the wilderness and the job quickly devolves into a fight to survive. Forced to contend not only with the forest's other ruthless inhabitants, but with her own father's greed-addled judgment, the girl finds she must carve her own path to escape."

It looks beautiful, but where's the amazing high concept stuff Dust have been doing?

If you're gonna make a sci-fi movie on another planet, and you're outside the bounds of the studio system, give me an interesting story. Ask some questions about our place in the stars or how technology will shape humanity. Don't give me a story that could have been set in the old west.

It's possible all those things could still be in there, just not in the form you may have been expecting. As far as being set in the old west, Firefly. Looks interesting enough to me at least.

If that moon or other planet over the horizon isn't part of the plot line, I give it a thumbs down.

The gravity of the visible planet and the earth like planet the characters are on would be on a collision course. I suspect the environment and the characters should already be rising or at least be feeling the effects of the planet over the horizon.

That, on its own, would be a bigger story line than whatever is going on in the clip.

If Neil deGrasse Tyson was dead, he'd be rolling over in his grave.

I'm guessing that it's not a moon. More likely it is a gas giant and they on on a moon in orbit around it.
