Brad Pitt traded laughs on Monday in a call to the International Space Station with a NASA astronaut, who somersaulted during the zero-gravity interview ahead of this week`s release of the actor`s new film, the space thriller 'Ad Astra.' 
 
Pitt peppered astronaut Nick Hague with dozens of questions about what life was like in space from NASA`s famed Mission Control Center in Houston. 
 
“Most important question: Who controls the jam box?” Pitt asked, referring to the space station`s music. 
 
“We have a rotating playlist, we take turns. And it’s nice because we have the international flair as well,” Hague replied. “Getting to hear some traditional music from Russia over dinner is a nice change, exposure.” 
 
Pitt plays astronaut Roy McBride, who travels to the outer edges of the solar system to find his missing father, confronting a mystery along the way that threatens humanity’s existence back on Earth. 'Ad Astra' - whose Latin title means "to the stars" - opens in US&nbsp;theatres on Friday. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was given an early copy of the movie`s script to provide visual and technical expertise, according to its film and TV liaison, Bert Ulrich.&nbsp; 
 
Detailed images of Mars from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory informed the film’s recreation of Martian landscapes, he said. “The script did not have a NASA storyline, but there were ways that we could still help them,” Ulrich said in an interview, adding that the film shows some parallels to NASA’s Moon-to-Mars Artemis programme, such as the way characters use the moon to travel further to Mars. 
 
After asking questions like how realistic his zero-gravity movements were in a studio environment - as Hague performed one for him - Pitt said he had one last question "and I need to call on your expertise." 
 
"Who was more believable, Clooney or Pitt?” the actor asked, referring to George Clooney, a good friend who played an astronaut in the 2013 film ' Gravity'&nbsp;and has starred with Pitt in a number of other films.&nbsp;“You were, absolutely,” Hague replied.
