Meanwhile on Earth Trailer Unveils an Emotional Sci-Fi Thriller Movie

As a fan of thought-provoking and emotionally resonant films, I am thoroughly intrigued by the Meanwhile on Earth trailer. The story of Elsa, played by Megan Northam, and her long-lost brother Franck (who is an astronaut) reconnecting under mysterious circumstances, strikes a chord with me, as I can only imagine the depths of emotions that come with such a reunion after years of grief.


Metrograph Pictures unveiled a new trailer, titled “Meanwhile on Earth,” for their upcoming French science fiction thriller by acclaimed and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Jérémy Clapin.

Elsa (newly acted by Megan Northam in her initial film role), together with her family, faces hardships after Elsa’s astronaut brother Franck (the missing person) went absent during his inaugural space mission. During a star-gazing session one evening, Elsa is astonished to receive a message from Franck. However, her delight fades quickly when she uncovers the ominous motivations behind Franck’s unexpected resurfacing, compelling Elsa to grapple with how far she’d be prepared to go for her long-lost brother.

Meanwhile on Earth trailer looks to tug at the heartstrings

As a passionate gamer, I’m always on the lookout for unique and thought-provoking experiences. And just like the game “I Lost My Body” by Clapin left an indelible mark on me with its soulful exploration of grief and reunion through an unconventional narrative, the trailer for “Meanwhile on Earth” promises to take me on another emotional journey. This time around, I can’t wait to dive into a fresh perspective that tackles these themes in a way that only gaming can deliver.

Simultaneously on Earth, a film by Jérémy Clapin, unfolds with the acting talents of Megan Northam, Sofia Lesaffre (previously seen in Infested), Catherine Salée (Blue is the Warmest Color), Sam Louwyck (The Wild Boys), Nicolas Avinée (Asteroid City), and Roman Williams.

At the Berlin International Film Festival in February, Meanwhile on Earth, also known as Pendant ce temps sur Terre, had its European premiere in France on July 3, 2024.

As a passionate fan, I’d describe it this way: Director Jérémy Clapin gained widespread recognition for his extraordinary 2019 animated Netflix production, titled “I Lost My Body.” In this captivating tale, we follow Naoufel, a young man deeply in love with Gabrielle. Meanwhile, an intriguing twist unfolds as a detached hand, having escaped from a lab dissection, embarks on a determined quest to reunite with its original body.

The movie earned a nomination for the Academy Award’s Best Animated Feature category but got outperformed by Toy Story 4 in the end. Nevertheless, it managed to secure victories at other award shows, such as the César Awards, Annie Awards, LA Film Critics Association, and Annecy International Animated Film Festival.

Meanwhile on Earth will be released in theaters on September 13, 2024.
