“A stunning sci-fi experience.” Metrograph Pics has revealed another teaser for the indie sci-fi film titled Meanwhile on Earth, from French filmmaker Jérémy Clapin. It’s now rescheduled to open in November, shifting a few months from the initial September date for a better fit later in the fall. This first premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival earlier in the year. Jérémy Clapin is the same director who made the excellent animated film I Lost My Body, which anyone can now watch on Netflix. In this new film, a young woman is contacted by her missing brother, an astronaut who vanished on a mission, but all is not what it seems in this sci-fi thriller. The intro from Berlinale explains: “Siblings Elsa & Franck were always very close. When Franck mysteriously disappeared during a space mission three years ago, everything changed for Elsa. Since then, the 23-year-old has struggled to move on with her life. One day she is contacted by an unidentified life form who offers to bring her brother back to Earth. But there is a price to pay…” Megan Northam stars as Elsa, with Catherine Salée, Sam Louwyck, Roman Williams, and Sofia Lesaffre. My festival review is quoted in this trailer – it’s a mesmerizing thriller with a few sneaky twists & turns in it. Take a look below.

Elsa (Megan Northam, in her debut feature role), who, along with her family, is struggling following the disappearance of her brother Franck, an astronaut who vanished on his first mission. While stargazing one night, Elsa is shocked to receive contact from Franck, but her joy is short-lived when she learns of the dark and troubling forces behind Franck’s reappearance, forcing her to confront the lengths she will go for the brother she once feared was gone forever. Meanwhile on Earth, also known as Pendant ce temps sur Terre in French, is written and directed by French filmmaker Jérémy Clapin, director of the animated film I Lost My Body and a few other short films previously. Produced by Marc Du Pontavice. This initially premiered at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival earlier this year (our review). Metrograph Pictures will release Clapin’s Meanwhile on Earth in select US theaters starting November 8th, 2024 later this fall. Intrigued?
