Director Andrew Stanton (Wall-E) makes his first live-action feature since 2012's John Carter with In the Blink of an Eye. Written by Colby Day, the film unspools three interconnecting stories over three distinct time periods. One follows a Neanderthal family's struggle to survive; another sees romance blossom between a pair of anthropology students; while in the future we see an astronaut on a spaceship contend with a mysterious disease affecting the craft's plant life.
The film stars Kate McKinnon, Rashida Jones, Daveed Diggs, Jorge Vargas and Tanaya Beatty.
In the Blink of an Eye is on Disney+ from February 27th.
Check out the trailer below.
The official synopsis reads:
In the distant past, a Neanderthal family (Jorge Vargas, Tanaya Beatty), displaced from their home, struggles to survive – protecting their children and learning to wield primitive tools in an unforgiving world. In the present day, Claire (Rashida Jones), a driven post-graduate anthropologist studying ancient proto-human remains, begins a tentative relationship with a fellow student, Greg (Daveed Diggs). And two centuries later, aboard a spaceship bound for a distant planet, Coakley (Kate McKinnon) and a sentient onboard computer confront a mysterious disease threatening the ship’s oxygen-producing plants.
