Netflix unveils George Clooney’s first look from post-apocalyptic drama The Midnight Sky

Netflix has unveiled the official preview of its upcoming drama The Midnight Sky, starring Clooney as Augustine.

And the first look from the film says it all, a lonely man in the middle ages who has grown his salt-and-pepper beard.

According to the film’s synopsis, “This post-apocalyptic tale follows the parallel stories of Augustine (Clooney), a lonely scientist in the Arctic, as he races to make contact with the crew of the Aether spacecraft as they try to return home to Earth.”
