Marvel at Remarkable Pictures of Scientifically Plausible Extraterrestrial World Originating from Ash
Rewritten Article:
Dive into the alien world of a sci-fi masterpiece where reality meets fantasy! In the upcoming film Ash, director Flying Lotus crafts an intriguing sci-fi mystery as an astronaut (Eiza Gonzalez) awakens on a foreign planet, only to find her crew deceased. A familiar face (Aaron Paul) appears, but his intentions remain murky - friend or foe?
The enigmatic planet in Ash, named Ash, draws inspiration from the real-life exoplanet Kepler-442b, approximately 1,200 light years away from Earth. While the connection may seem surface-level, Flying Lotus reveals a deeper fascination. "The planet KOI-442 AKA Ash piqued human curiosity from the farthest corners of the cosmos due to its almost breathable air, and could soon serve as a promising new home for humanity," he stated. "I envisioned the planet itself as a character, contributing to the haunting aura yet offering a sense of awe-inspiring wonder, making it a place worth leaving Earth for."
io9 is proud to exclusively share an exclusive preview of Ash's stunning planetary landscapes. The efforts behind building this fictional planet and its celestial surroundings are apparent, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail comparable to costumes, hair, and other film elements. The hues, the perspectives, the landscapes - they all come alive.
