Talk:The Astronaut's Wife

Untitled
It's often been suggested that the plot of this film was inspired by The Quatermass Experiment (or more possibly, as it would have been better known in America, the film version of the same). Worth mentioning, or non-encyclopedic speculation? Angmering 11:34, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Hm, the film bears similarities to lots of others (Rosemary's baby, village of the dammded) and it does seems aware of this. I mean, there appear to be homages. So if youre to include something about inspirations of the film, don't limit it to just the one example.

this plot is just like species II, wtf???

video box jacket syndrome
I could read the contents of the "spoilers" section off of a video box, including the final teaser sentence. Go ahead and add real info. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.7.2.133 (talk) 06:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

I didn't see any spoiler information. It's just the plot and does not reveal the outcome.

Illrelevant Content"
Can anyone explain why the following entry is relevant to the main article?


 * Also, actor Nick Cassavetes is the son of director/actor John Cassavetes (who appears in the film Rosemary's Baby), and actress Gena Rowland.

Fine, the Cassavetes have a connection to a connection to a possible inspiration for the remake of a movie they made, but is it directly tied into The Astronaut's Wife? I beg to differ.Magnet For Knowledge (talk) 01:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

The connection to Rosemary's Baby seems pretty clear in the plot, and the stylistic similarities. Also Charlize Theron's short blond hair is a dead giveaway... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lizfran (talk • contribs) 06:43, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Re: influences section
The following information has been removed from the article:
 * "It has been noted that the plot of The Astronaut's Wife is apparently influenced by The Quatermass Experiment (1953) and its feature film adaptation (1955), the plot of which revolves around an astronaut who returns to Earth possessed by an alien organism.
 * The plot line is very similar to a Twilight Zone episode written by Rod Serling titled "The Parallel".
 * The plot also bears a certain resemblance to the cult-classic 50's sci-fi film I Married a Monster from Outer Space, which is also about aliens posing as husbands in order to impregnate Earth women. Another movie and book cited as an influence was Rosemary's Baby, in which a woman becomes pregnant, only to become suspicious of her husband and neighbor's motives, as it becomes apparent a supernatural force may be at work. Charlize Theron's costumes and hairstyle also mimic Mia Farrow's from that movie."

I have removed the first paragraph because I've checked and the citations noted do not state that the film was ever influenced by the Quatermass Experiment. The two following paragraphs do not have any citation, and appear to be nothing more than editorial observations - something we cannot allow into the article. I think that if these could be better cited, they might be a useful addition to the article; I've moved them to here towards that end. If we can't find citations, we cannot re-add them to the article. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:05, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
