Fox Searchlight has released another trailer for Noah Hawley’s directorial feature film debut, Lucy in the Sky. Hawley is bringing his surreal style to the big screen with the future Mighty Thor at the forefront in leading lady Natalie Portman.

Lucy in the Sky follows Natalie Portman as Lucy Cola, a strong woman whose determination and drive as an astronaut take her to space where she’s deeply moved by the transcendent experience of seeing her life from afar. Back home as lucy’s world suddenly feels too small, her connection with reality slowly unravels.

The new trailer encapsulates this "transcendent experience" with Lucy floating peacefully above the earth insisting on "just a few more minutes," because she can see "her life." Stylized images flash across the screen as we get a greater sense of her struggle. She appears to feel separate from the events she lives, and as the trailer continues, we get a glimpse at the desperation it causes. Nick Offerman’s character summarizes it for us when he quotes Michael Collins for our main character. He says, "I am now truly alone, and absolutely alone from any known life. I am it." As the story unfolds, Cola is determined to return to space, giving everything to the mission and leaving very little else for her sanity and her family. She insists that space "is the only place where anything makes sense"
