“Coco Chanel: Unbuttoned” director Hannah Berryman has set her latest documentary, about Nasa’s first female spacecraft commander Eileen Collins.
The feature-length doc is based on Collins’ memoir, “Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars,” which was co-written by Collins and Jonathan H. Ward.
According to the logline, it will focus on “the extraordinary achievements of Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command a spacecraft, paving the way for the next generation of female space explorers.”
“Eileen’s journey from an underprivileged childhood in small town America to becoming the first woman to pilot and command a space shuttle is a fascinating one,” said Berryman. “The emotional drama of her family’s tale is just as gripping as the risks the shuttle astronauts like Eileen had to take.”
Collins said: “I am enormously excited to be involved with this film project. It is more than my personal journey...

A new documentary film about Neil Armstrong will use home videos shot by the man himself and unseen footage from Nasa to tell the celebrated U.S. astronaut’s life story. “Armstrong” is in production and will launch in 2019 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the first moon landings.
The producers of “Armstrong,” Tin Goose Films, are well-versed in the subject of space exploration, having made feature documentaries “The Last Man on the Moon” and “Mission Control: The Unseen Heroes of Apollo,” which Variety called “an engrossing behind-the-scenes look at the flight controllers and support crews that helped America win the space race.”
“Armstrong” will deliver next spring. The documentary is one of a number of projects dealing with the 1969 lunar landing. Damien Chazelle’s “First Man,” which also centered on Armstrong, was released this year, and drama series “One Giant Leap,” produced by Mike Medavoy, is expected to...
