Gravity is mentioned in the IMAX/WB press release but there's no specific date other than it being released in 2013.

The arrangement also underscores the excitement around Warner Bros.' upcoming slate, which includes many of the most anticipated movie-event titles emerging from Hollywood over the next few years. Warner Bros. titles to be released for 2013 include: Jack the Giant Slayer (March 1, 2013); Man of Steel (June 14, 2013); Pacific Rim (July 12, 2013); 300: Rise of an Empire (August 2, 2013); Gravity; Seventh Son (October 18, 2013); The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (December 13, 2013).

Warner Bros. has changed the 'pending 2013' date of Gravity to a more finite date: October 4, 2013.

Huzzah!

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Good, hopefully a trailer for this thing is incoming.

i talked to people who worked on the movie and 80% of the effects were finished in 2012. they didnt know about the other 20% because a different studio worked on it. but i think the effects are finished. they would still work on CGI only if WB and Cuaron would change their mind.

editing thats a different story.

so WB shut up and realese an official pic.

Found an article on fine art photographer Julio Hardy that contains possibly the first look (lo-res) at Bullock from Gravity?

From Window On Photography:

How Fine Art Photographer Julio Hardy received an offer to photograph the production of a major motion picture.

In this sense my style is a mix of Fine Art and Photojournalism. I’m still the kind of photographer that privilege doing single images rather than portfolios. However last year I started working in a portfolio about an isolated and remote school in the border of Argentina and Bolvia, located in a valley at 15,000 feet high. That portfolio was seen by the producer (http://www.blurb.com/books/1474122) and it was that style who appealed David Heyman (producer of all Harry Potter’s movies) inviting me to work as a unit still photographer in a movie to be shot at the Shepperton Studios in London (where all the James Bond Movies and Orson Wells’ The Third Man were shot, among many others). The movie was Gravity, a Warner’s Sci Fiction movie starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock.

The Director was the visionary Mexican Alfonso Cuaron (Harry Potter, Great Expectations, Children of Men). When asked, David Heyman told me he has chosen me because my work has the boldness and beauty that they were looking for . They had the desire, he said, to have a fine art / reportage photographer to record and capture the essence what is happening at the Shepperton Studios. Sasha Gibson, the Unit Publicist, told they conducted an online research: keywords were Fine Art and Reportage.

Once in London, at the Shepperton Studios, I asked for a brief.”There’s no brief”, director Alfonso Cuaron told me; “you can do what you want provided you don’t do the usual boring shots of the unit still photographers; be creative.” For several days I was like a ghost among the dozens of technicians working in the studios: I was able to do whatever I wanted provided I don’t disturbed the crew and actors; I wasn’t allowed to do any noise at all. And that was the main problem; I was obliged to use a sound blimp (I purchased a Camera Muzzle for that purpose) and found myself shooting with my Canon 5D Mark II enclosed in a huge soft blimp filled with foam and being almost unable to change settings of the camera. To assure an almost silent shooting I configured the camera in Live Mode, with the mirror locked up. I felt like an elephant in a glass bazaar. By not having a brief I concentrated in shooting the interaction between the director and the actors, George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, and the advanced technology used to simulate gravity in a space station.

The agreement I signed with Warner was something absolutely unusual to me: I had to give up the copyright and signed an NDA committing not to display any of the images. However I managed to include a clause that allows me to have the images in my portfolio, do an exhibition or release a book, once the movie is released in 2012.

Looking back the only thing I would have done differently was carrying a point-and-shot camera avoiding to use a sound blimp when the movie camera was rolling and use the Canon 5D with the mirror locked up –without sound blimp- during the rehearsals.

Working as a unit still photographer was indeed an outstanding experience, specially for the challenge of doing fine art in an environment where the light was subtle and the subjects were not very appealing (I mean of course the technology used on set, not the actors).

WB i hate you

 

[Rocketman]

I am utterly flabbergasted by this movie having:

- No website
- No photos
- No poster
- No teaser trailer
- No trailer

And it's coming out in SEVEN MONTHS. It's preposterous.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

When a trailer does come out, it will be glorious.

 

[Rocketman]

Well, I mean, what's so special about it? Is it supposed to be groundbreaking or original, or are we just excited because we're kept so in the dark and it's so mysterious? And because it's Cuaron?

I'll be honest, my interest is stemming purely from there being no information.

 

[Piper Maru]

I can't wait for information.

 

[Rocketman]

If only Hollywood could do this with every movie, they'd save billions of dollars.

"Yeah, we got this thing, comes out in October. Hope to see you there."

October rolls around - It's bigger than Avatar.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

lmao

I'll be honest, my interest is stemming purely from there being no information.

the people who worked on the effects said that they can not find words to describe the visuals. they are so special and unique. some said that it was the best time working on this movie in their 20 year career and that they are angry that they can not talk about the movie in detail.
since they were not promoting the movie but talking to their friends and colleagues this was not hyperbole and lying to the camera.

on top of all it is a scifi Cuaron movie.

i hate WB
