We’ve been keeping you updated for quite a while now on Alfonso Cuarón’s film Gravity starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. We last reported in May that the release date had been moved to “an unspecified date in 2013″ and today we can report that Gravity is set to impact theaters on October 4, 2013 in 3D and IMAX.

Here’s the synopsis in case you need a refresher.

Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.

But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

As always, we will keep you posted of the latest in Gravity news.

Gravity starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney is slated to arrive in theaters on October 4, 2013 in 3D and IMAX
