The duo play Jim and Aurora, two of the 5,000-plus passengers resting in suspended animation on the Starship Avalon during a 120-year journey to the Homestead II space colony. When their hibernation pods open 90 years too early, Aurora and Jim are left to explore the luxurious spaceship’s high-end pools and huge dining rooms as they fall for each other — though they soon learn that the ship is malfunctioning and endangering its entire population. The intergalactic love story is directed by Morten Tyldum, whose 2014 World War II drama _The Imitation Game_ snagged him a best director Oscar nomination. In an [interview](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/08/12/passengers-chris-pratt-jennifer-lawrence-photos "undefined") with _Entertainment Weekly_, Tyldum said “I honestly couldn’t ask for a better cast. They’re so great together, and both of them are so hard-working. In this day of sequels and reboots I think it’s refreshing that it is a completely original story with two of the best movie stars in the world.” Passengers will be released Dec. 21 ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4500938/jennifer-lawrence-chris-pratt-passengers-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4500938/jennifer-lawrence-chris-pratt-passengers-trailer/"},"headline":"Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt Are Out of This World in First Passengers Trailer","datePublished":"2016-09-20T12:12:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:57:05.795Z","description":"First look at deep space love story","url":"https://time.com/4500938/jennifer-lawrence-chris-pratt-passengers-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Jennifer Lawrence","Romance","Sci Fi","chris pratt"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Suyin Haynes","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/suyin-haynes/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4500938/jennifer-lawrence-chris-pratt-passengers-trailer/","name":"Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt Are Out of This World in First Passengers Trailer"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"First look at deep space love story","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4500938/jennifer-lawrence-chris-pratt-passengers-trailer/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4500938/jennifer-lawrence-chris-pratt-passengers-trailer/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
