PanARMENIAN.Net - Sony has unveiled an explosive new "Passengers (2016)" trailer for fans' viewing pleasure, AceShowbiz said. It shows Chris Pratt's Jim and Jennifer Lawrence's Aurora who "are stranded on a sinking ship" after they wake up ninety years too early during the "greatest migration in human history."

"This can't be happening," she says. "We have to go back to sleep." Michael Sheen's creepy robotic bartender is shown retorting, "Who wants to sleep on a beautiful day like this?" There is also a glimpse of Laurence Fishburne's Gus Mancuso when Aurora says in a voiceover, "There is something you need to tell us."

"Passengers" follows a spacecraft transporting thousands of people to a distant colony planet that has a malfunction in one of its sleep chambers. As a result, a single passenger is awakened 90 years before anyone else. Faced with the prospect of growing old and dying alone, he eventually decides to wake up a second passenger, marking the beginning of what becomes a unique love story.

Directed by Morten Tyldums from a screenplay by Jon Spaiths, the sci-fi flick is set to be released on December 21 in U.S. theaters. It also stars Andy Garcia, Kimberly Battista and Aurora Perrineau.
