Jennifer Lawrence Fighting Gravity While Wearing A Bikini Is A Lesson In How You Sell Movie Tickets

Jennifer Lawrence is back, baby. Her next movie to hit the silver screen is called Passengers and because this scene probably has very little bearing on the actual plot of the film the producers released it anyway.

Why? Did you not read the headline and see the photo above?

Okay, fine, if you really want to know what the movie is about…

Synposis: The spaceship Starship Avalon on its 120-year voyage to a distant colony planet known as “Homestead II” and transporting 5,259 people has a malfunction in two of its sleep chambers. As a result, two hibernation pods open prematurely and the two people that awake are stranded on the spaceship, still 90 years from their destination. Aurora Dunn (Jennifer Lawrence) is a journalist from New York City who is interested in cosmic travel. Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) is a mechanical engineer from Denver who wants to leave Earth and bought the ticket for the journey. The two soon discover that the malfunction that caused them to be awoken prematurely is not the only problem afflicting the huge spaceship, and as they try to find a way out, they soon find themselves falling in love.

Also: Jennifer Lawrence in a bikini. That too.

Looks like a winner to me.

Passengers hits theaters December 21st.
