A Million Miles Away is now on Prime Video.
Summary A Million Miles Away tells the incredible true story of José Moreno Hernández's long journey to become an astronaut. Beginning as a migrant farmer with his family when he was a child, Hernández dreams of going to space. He does everything he can to achieve this seemingly impossible dream: becoming an engineer, training, and learning a new language.
José Moreno Hernández: Oh, thank you very much. I'll tell you kudos to our director Alejandra Márquez Abella because it's hard to put a whole life, condense it to two hours, and to accurately portray it. And I'll tell you, for the most part, she did an outstanding job. At least the whole important parts of the story are absolutely on point and so that's why I'm very happy with the movie.
They sent me their draft, and I would give them my feedback. Sometimes they took it, sometimes they couldn't, because of how the scripts work and all that. But again, for the most part, it was done great. And then when Alejandra started shooting I had met with my counterpart actor, Michael Peña. So he got to know my personality and accurately portrayed it. Rosa Salazar portrayed in an excellent manner, my wife, so I think everything was done. I was very happy with it.
I can't even imagine being in space. Are there any movies or TV shows that you think actually get that portrayal right? Or is that just something Hollywood has been unable to capture? That's so fantastic. And we talked a little bit about how much time this was covering. Were there any moments that you guys maybe didn't have time to get into? Either just at all or the details of that you wish had been maybe a bigger part of the story?
José Moreno Hernández: Yeah, I think they did a good job. Obviously, they did a great job with Adela, Adelita, because Rosa did an awesome job on that, but also my parents. How my parents taught tough love kind of thing and say if it gets hard, you get stronger and work harder and those type of things. And it's those type of things that really came across pretty well on the screen.
