Development

In November 2011, it was announced that Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara and Haley Bennett had all been cast in the film.[1][2] The film was originally titled Lawless, but Malick allowed film-maker John Hillcoat to use the title for his 2012 film.[3] The production company when the film was announced as in pre-production in November 2011 was FilmNation Entertainment and its producers were Sarah Green and Nicolas Gonda.[1][2] In November 2012, it was announced that Bérénice Marlohe had joined the cast of the film, with her character being kept under wraps.[4] It was revealed in March 2015 the title was Weightless.[5] In February 2016, Sarah Green confirmed the title of the film was indeed Weightless.[6]

Filming

Rooney Mara said in December 2011 that filming was scheduled to begin in September 2012.[7] That month, scenes were shot in Austin, Texas.[8][9] In March 2012, Alan Palomo of Neon Indian shot scenes for the film.[10][11] In October 2012, Mara, Michael Fassbender, Florence Welch and Holly Hunter were spotted on set filming.[12][13] Mara said in an interview that Patti Smith shot scenes for the film, playing herself.[14] In November 2012, Val Kilmer was spotted filming.[15] Christian Bale only shot three days on the film.[16]

Post-production

Michael Fassbender provided voice-over that the actor said may be cut from the completed film, stating, "I'm not sure [if I'm in the final cut]. I've got to go actually and do some more voice-over ... just like reams and reams of that."[17] Bale also expressed doubts about whether he would appear, saying in November 2013, "I unfortunately wasn't able to do everything I was meant to do, so I ended up doing like three, four days on that. Which in Terry's world means you're never going to see me in it."[18] In January 2016, Mara revealed she did voice-over for the film.[19]

Release

In February 2015, Broad Green Pictures acquired U.S distribution rights to the film.[20] The film is scheduled to be released on March 17, 2017.[21]
