Are we the only humans in the universe? Are we alone, or is there another "planet Earth" out there? It has been an aged old question since the beginning of time.
This summer "Another Earth" will have the movie universe clamoring.
Opening this Summer in July, this is going to be an "out of this world" blockbuster, my prediction, lots of awards coming to "Another Earth."
Here is the inside scoop on "Another Earth."

In ANOTHER EARTH, character Rhoda Williams (actress Brit Marling), is a bright smart young woman accepted into MIT's astrophysics program. While driving one night she sees a planet and leans out for a closer look. She hits a minivan and kills a family. She is imprisoned for four years, and upon release seeks out the widower of the family, composer John Burroughs (Mapother).

She aspires to explore the cosmos, and ends up on a universal journey into the unknown.
Another Earth had its world premiere at the 27th Sundance Film Festival in January 2011.
Reviews so far are great for "Another Earth." The film subsequently won the Alfred P. Sloan Prize for "focusing on science or technology as a theme, or depicting a scientist, engineer or mathematician as a major character".
Fox Searchlight is the distributors of "Another Earth" here in the massive movie market.
