Emma Roberts Space Cadet SR Exclusive
Summary Prime Video has an array of movies, and it's adding writer-director Liz W. Garcia's Space Cadet to its repertoire. Starring Emma Roberts as Rex, a woman who dreams of going to space and applies to a NASA program to get there, Gabrielle Union, and The Umbrella Academy actor Tom Hopper, Space Cadet is one of the best streaming comedies out this year.
Liz W. Garcia On Space Cadet's Inspirations & Research Required To Bring It To The Screen Screen Rant: What were some of the old-school movies that inspired this one? It feels very 90s/early 2000s. The character of Rex is so charming and so confident and she has a can-do attitude. Were there any real-life inspiration that you drew from when you sat down to write her?
Liz Garcia: I think she just saw what was on the page and really understood what it was and was such a good match for it. And she brought so much, it's like the character was all these things on the page, was the Florida girl, was kind, was this, was that. But it's nothing without Emma's… incredible sense of humor, and her physicality, which is also so funny, and she brought all these great moves to it. She brought it to life.
Liz Garcia: Well, we had a good time. We all had a good time on and off set, and that really helped, and we went out and sang karaoke and things like that. But also, I think just being in those matching jumpsuits together and doing those big scenes together made these guys all bond so, so nicely, and they were also respectful of each other's talent and found each other hilarious. It was really sweet. I was lucky that they created their own relationships too.
Liz Garcia: Yeah. Well, it's getting easier to be a female-identifying director. But what I've found is I have to create my own chances. I have to create my own opportunities, and specifically, what that means is writing the material that I'm going to direct. I feel like that's the way for me to get movies made. I'm not a dude whose phone is ringing off the hook, direct this for this huge company, whatever.
