Yahoo News Alfonso Cuarón's Roma reveals first trailer
If you've seen Gravity, you might expect director Alfonso Cuarón's next film to be another sci-fi adventure.
You'd be wrong.
Roma, the Oscar-winning auteur's upcoming Netflix project, dropped its first trailer yesterday - and it's very different from Gravity.
While "time and space" are central to the movie, says Cuarón, there's no rocket ships or spacesuits to be seen.
Time and Space constrain us, but they also define who we are, creating inexplicable bonds with the others that flow with us at the same time and through the same places.@ROMACuaron pic.twitter.com/HHV0C9bD56

Instead, the whole teaser is shot in black and white and appears to show a range of characters at different stages of their lives.
"Time and Space constrain us, but they also define who we are," wrote Cuarón on Twitter as he shared the trailer.
He went on to explain that they create "inexplicable bonds with the others that flow with us at the same time and through the same places."
Does this cryptic message mean Roma will have some science fiction elements to it?
We'll just have to wait and see.
Featuring a cast of relative unknowns, it chronicles a year in the life of a middle-class family in Mexico City during the early 1970s.
The crew were involved in an on-set incident back in November 2016, when a robbery took place during filming.
According to the studio "two women were hit, five crew members were hospitalized, and cellphones, wallets, and jewelry were stolen" during the attack.
Roma is Cuarón's first collaboration with Netflix and is set to premiere at Venice Film Festival on August 30.
It will be released worldwide via Netflix on December 14.
