Project Hail Mary. 2026. USA. Directed by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller. Screenplay by Drew Goddard, Andy Weir. With Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz. DCP courtesy Amazon MGM Studios. 156 min.
Going above and beyond for humanity is not what Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) signed up for. More inclined to hide in a classroom teaching high school science, Grace is thrust, quite unwilling, into space as Earth’s last hope for survival. Guided by no-nonsense project leader Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller, in a showstopping performance) from Earth, and an exuberant extraterrestrial partner in the form of Rocky (performed and voiced by James Ortiz), our hero will discover whether he has what it takes to save himself—and the rest of us in the process. Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller bring the wit and wonder of Andy Weir’s bestselling novel to vivid life.
