FILM 2105: AD ASTRA (2019)

TRIVIA: The title means "to the stars" in Latin. It is often used as a shorthand for "Per Aspera Ad Astra" (Through the hardships to the Stars).

Director James Gray admitted to Empire magazine that he had to compromise with the studio on the ending of the movie to get the film green-lit and even with a major star/producer like Brad Pitt on board they still struggled for years to get it made.

Tommy Lee Jones is actually only 16 years older than Brad Pitt.

At the 19:25 mark Tommy Lee Jones can be seen wearing the exact same space outfit as he did in 'Space Cowboys' (2000). The only difference is the top two patches have been digitally altered to fit the Space Comm suits in Ad Astra.
