Felicity Jones as Sully (Netflix)
A spectacular saga adapted from Lily Brooks-Daltonâs 2016 novel âGood Morning, Midnightâ, George Clooney's âThe Midnight Skyâ elucidates a mysterious global catastrophe after which Arctic-stationed scientist Augustine Lofthouse (George Clooney) attempts to warn a deep-space astronaut Sully (Felicity Jones) and her crew of the dangers of returning home.
One of the first choices for the role of Sully, the production wanted Felicity Jones from the start. Clooney, Jones and the rest of the crew shed light on an interesting aspect as the cast slips out secrets in an interview from the press junket. âFelicity was wonderful in âThe Theory of Everythingâ and all the things sheâs done,â Clooney exclaimed. âThereâs something gentle about her, but you believe sheâs incredibly capable of playing someone who is running comms on a two-year space adventure. Her league is much higher than that. She can handle it.â
