Skydance Productions and Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new trailer for ‘Geostorm’, the big budget disaster action sci-fi from producer Dean Devlin about weather controlling satellites, and it is big as one can imagine. Gerard Butler leads the cast as a scientist who is out to save the world from catastrophes.

Here is the synopsis for Geostorm:

After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world’s leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong—the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it’s a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything…and everyone along with it.

The trailer shows plenty of humor, quite a relief from disaster flicks that take itself seriously. The film’s marketing also puts “From The Producer of Independence Day” front and center. That is of course “Dean Devlin” in his feature debut as a director. Devlin also co-wrote and produced the film. So there is plenty of potential for a breakout hit here.

Also starring Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Ed Harris and Andy García, Geostorm will be in theaters on October 20th.
