Ryan Reynolds' Astronaut Reveals Childhood Dreams in 'Life' Bonus Clip (Exclusive)


Life may not have ignited the box office when it debuted in theaters this past March, but Daniel Espinosa’s science-fiction thriller remains a solid outer-space saga cast in a distinctly Alien-ish mold. Moviegoers can catch up with the film right now on Digital HD, while those waiting for Blu-ray/DVD will get the same opportunity on Tuesday. And in advance of that bow, Yahoo Movies has an exclusive clip from the upcoming Blu-ray package, which gives us further insight into the character played by none other than Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds.

In Life, Reynolds co-stars as systems engineer Rory Adams, a member of a crew of astronauts aboard the International Space Station who are tasked with receiving — and then analyzing — a Mars soil sample that, it turns out, contains the first extraterrestrial biological organism ever discovered. As these things generally go, that seemingly harmless multi-celled creature turns out to be far more hazardous than Adams and his comrades — including Jake Gyllenhaal and Rebecca Ferguson — initially assume. However, at the time of the above video-diary clip, in which Adams discusses his childhood desire to travel to the cosmos, he has no idea about the horrors that await.

The characters’ video diaries are among the previously unreleased bonus features available on the Blu-ray and DVD, along with deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes footage.
