Alfonso Cuaron, director of Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambienand Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, is a bold filmmaker that challenges the borders of traditional filmmaking. He’s an artist with a vision so exact that he will invent technologies in order to get the kind of shot that he wants – take for example the car gig which captured what was once called an unfilmable scene in Children of Men. With Gravity, he’s promised to deliver a whole new sci-fi experience with some of the longest single shots in the history of film.

This latest trailer seems to be Alfonso teasing that promise and seemingly fulfilling it. While this was originally supposed to get a release last year, it needed months extra in post production. The question is: will it be worth the wait?

Take a look at the trailer and see if you think so.

Gravity is directed by Alfonso Cuaron and stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. It will fall into theaters on October 4.
