In the official trailer forProject Hail Mary, Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) makes one thing clear: He is not an astronaut. Yet this middle school science teacher is humanity’s only hope.
The sun is dying, and because of Grace’s background in molecular biology, he might be “the only scientist” who can save Earth. Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller) recruits Grace to join Project Hail Mary, a mission to explore a star 11.9 light-years away that could provide the answers humanity needs to ensure its survival. “If we do nothing, everything on this planet will go extinct,” Stratt tells Grace.
Set toSign of the Timesby Harry Styles, thetrailerfeatures Grace waking up from his coma in space. Eventually, he remembers his mission and forges on. Along the way, Grace even encounters an alien.
Project Hail Maryis not Gosling’s first time playing an astronaut. The multi-time Academy Award nominee played Neil Armstrong in Damien Chazelle’sFirst Man.
Project Hail Maryalso stars Milana Vayntrub andThe Bear’sLionel Boyce.
Project Hail Maryis based on the novel of the same name by Andy Weir. IfProject Hail Marygives off similar vibes toThe Martian, that’s because Weir also wrote the latter.The Martianwas adapted into a 2015 feature film starring Matt Damon. Directed by Ridley Scott,The Martianwas a giant success, grossing over $630 million worldwide and garnering seven Oscar nominations.
