What happens

Project Hail Mary is a 2026 American science fiction film produced and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and written by Drew Goddard, based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir. It stars Ryan Gosling, who also produced the film; Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, and Lionel Boyce appear in supporting roles. The story follows Ryland Grace (Gosling), a middle school teacher who awakens aboard an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he got there. Pre-production began in 2020, before Weir's novel was published. Goddard, who wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Weir's previous novel, The Martian (2015), returned for this film. Filming took place throughout 2024 in the United Kingdom, both on location and on sets. All scenes aboard the spacecraft, Hail Mary, were filmed on a real practical set that was constructed for the film. Project Hail Mary premiered in London on March 9, 2026, and was released in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios on March 20, with Sony Pictures Releasing International releasing in other territories. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing $684 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
