Ryan Gosling bravely goes into space and fist bumps an alien in the new trailer for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s Project Hail Mary.
Coming exclusively to cinemas soon is the big-screen adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel, Project Hail Mary. The movie looks to be an exciting and emotional film that will have us hooked in our seats. Starring the ever-reliable Ryan Gosling, the film features a cast including Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub. The film’s first trailer was a triumph, giving us a taste of what to expect. But today, Sony Pictures has upped the stakes by releasing a new three-minute trailer that shows how far Gosling will go to save Earth from destruction. Fortunately, he won’t be fighting alone; he makes first contact with an enthusiastic alien who lends a helping fist-bump! Check it out below.
THE PREMISE
Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light-years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. He slowly deduces he is the sole survivor of a crew sent to the Tau Ceti solar system. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.
CREDITS
Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller appear to have knocked this film out of the park, and they needed a cast to match. Thankfully, they have assembled a phenomenal ensemble cast to support Ryan Gosling’s star power. The cast includes Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub.
The film is based on the novel by Andy Weir, with Drew Goddard providing the screenplay. Amy Pascal, Ryan Gosling, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Aditya Sood, Rachel O’Connor, and Andy Weir produce with Patricia Whitcher, Drew Goddard, Sarah Esberg, Lucy Kitada, Nikki Baida, and Ken Kao as Executive Producers.
RELEASE
What a phenomenal new trailer. With Ryan Gosling now filming Star Wars: Starfighter, the actor appears to have set his sights on space adventures for the next few years, and that is incredibly exciting. Project Hail Mary looks like a shoo-in to shoot straight to the top of our 2026 watchlist, and with the film being shot for IMAX, Gosling fans will be eating extremely well next year. Bring it on!
Project Hail Mary will try to save us from extinction in cinemas soon.
