ComingSoon spoke to Space Cadet director and writer Liz W. Garcia about her latest film, which stars Emma Roberts.
“Tiffany ‘Rex’ Simpson has always dreamed of going to space, but life isn’t going quite as planned. Determined to turn things around, she aims high, and with the embellishing touch of her supportive best friend Nadine , her ‘doctored’ application lands her in NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program. In over her head, Rex relies on her quick wits, moxie, and determination to get to the top of her class,” says the synopsis.
I thought it was interesting that in the last couple of films that you directed, grief is a central theme. Space Cadet also features grief, but this is such a fun tone. How was it using grief and using that as a launching point but going in a very different direction tonally? She lost her champion. She lost the person who was saying, “You know how to do this. You can achieve this.” And so what a coming of age journey really for her to have to realize, I’m gonna have to be the one who says that to myself. That just felt like it stirred me, and it also felt like something that could inspire other people.
