The 'American Horror Story' actress transforms from a Florida party girl to an aspiring astronaut in Amazon's new comedy, promising an out-of-this-world viewing experience.

AceShowbiz - Set to premiere on Prime Video on July 4, "Space Cadet" stars Emma Roberts as Rex, a reformed party girl who defies the odds to chase her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. Directed and written by Liz W. Garcia, known for her work on "Purple Hearts" and "The Lifeguard", this film brings humor and inspiration together in a uniquely entertaining package.

The trailer introduces Rex looking up at the stars, wistfully narrating, "Once upon a time, I had bigger dreams." Through a series of flashbacks, viewers learn about Rex's unwavering childhood aspiration to travel to space. However, life hadn't gone as planned, leading her to work as a bartender in Florida. Determined to give her dreams another shot, Rex, with the help of her best friend Nadine (Poppy Liu), submits a highly embellished resume to NASA, claiming various feats like attending MIT and winning a Pulitzer Prize.

Despite her fabricated credentials, Rex surprisingly lands a spot in NASA's astronaut training program. The narrative takes a comedic turn as Rex, now going by "Dr. Tiffany Simpson," finds herself among doctors, pilots and soldiers, and struggles to fit in. The training is grueling, but Rex's tenacity and quick thinking set her apart, drawing the attention of NASA directors Pam (Gabrielle Union) and Logan (Tom Hopper).

"Space Cadet" boasts a talented ensemble cast including Kuhoo Verma, Desi Lydic, Sebastian Yatra, Yasha Jackson, Andrew Call, Troy Iwata, Josephine Huang, Dave Foley, Sam Robards and Joshua Harto. The movie's trailer has been well-received, with comparisons drawn to "Legally Blonde" but in the context of space exploration.

This new comedy promises to deliver laughs while underscoring themes of self-belief, perseverance, and the power of following one's dreams. With Rex navigating astronaut training challenges despite her fears and insecurities, audiences can expect an uplifting and relatable storyline. Fans of Roberts' previous rom-com roles can look forward to another compelling performance that melds humor with heartfelt moments.

Prepare for lift-off on July 4 as Space Cadet premieres globally on Prime Video, inviting viewers to embark on a hilarious and motivational journey to the stars.
