The actresses spoke about some of the film’s most entertaining scenes and working with writer-director . The film will premiere globally on Prime Video on July 4.
“Tiffany ‘Rex’ Simpson (Emma Roberts) has always dreamed of going to space, but life isn’t going quite as planned. Determined to turn things around, she aims high, and with the embellishing touch of her supportive best friend Nadine (Poppy Liu), her ‘doctored’ application lands her in NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program. In over her head, Rex relies on her quick wits, moxie, and determination to get to the top of her class,” says the synopsis.
“NASA program directors Pam (Gabrielle Union) and Logan ( ) certainly take notice, but can this Florida girl get through training and into the cosmos before she blows her cover? Written and directed by Liz W. Garcia (Purple Hearts), Space Cadet is a comedy about the power of being yourself, following your dreams, and shooting for the stars.” Emma Roberts: I loved the script.
I mean, even just the title Space Cadet, I knew I was gonna love it, and I read it, and I found myself just smiling and laughing. I devoured it in one sitting and it just felt like a movie I really wanted to be a part of. There was, you know, nostalgia there, but also so much like originality.
