Director Peter Chelsom says his latest film "The Space Between Us" is a big movie and is very universal in its theme.
"When people ask me what the story is, when you get to a line or two people go wow, it's kind of fun because a lead astronaut on a mission to Mars doesn't realise she is pregnant and that's where people go wow, so you have already got a good hook.
That's an unusual premise, " Chelsom said in a statement.
Further talking about the theme of the movie, the director, who has helmed movies like "Shall We Dance" and "Serendipity", said: "It's a big movie and it's a very universal movie and the theme is completely universal. "
"The Space Between Us" is an interplanetary adventure featuring two young lovers, one from Earth and one from Mars.
"The themes of isolation and connection and separation and it's a love story, you know it is the heart of it all.
Is it about Mars, is it about America - No.
They are just devices to tell a love story.
What I love about the film is that it will travel more than any film I have ever made I think, " he said
The romantic sci - fi movie has a stellar cast that includes Britt Robertson and Asa Butterfield.
It is set to release on Friday in India.
