The Project Hail Mary trailer looks like The Martian all over again (in a great way)


Project Hail Mary, the next Andy Weir adaptation, looks like it could be as epic as The Martian.

That's what happened with The Martian, which was a delightfully nerdy self-published novel that was transformed into a thrilling film adaptation — thanks to Drew Goddard's script and Ridley Scott's bold direction. It's got everything: Ryan Gosling being funny-yet-heroic, snappy dialog thanks to another Goddard script and directors Philip Lord and Chris Miller ( The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street) out to prove their genius yet again with another seemingly impossible adaptation. On the surface, Project Hail Mary bares a resemblance to Danny Boyle's under-loved Sunshine: Stars are dying, and humanity is scrambling for a way to save itself.
