Project Hail Mary: Ryan Gosling’s Space Movie From The Martian Author Andy Weir Gets Release Date

Project Hail Mary, a science fiction movie starring Ryan Gosling based on Andy Weir's novel of the same name, now has a confirmed release date. The Martian author's 2021 novel follows Ryland Grace, an astronaut who wakes up on a space station with no memory of who he is or why he's in space. As the story progresses, he realizes he is on a mission to save Earth from another Ice Age, but must now do so on his own.

Deadline has confirmed the release date for Project Hail Mary, the upcoming Gosling-led sci-fi movie arriving in theaters on March 20, 2026. The film will be directed by Christopher Miller, and produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Weir is also attached as a producer, with screenwriter Drew Goddard penning the script for the upcoming space adventure.

Weir is known for writing various sci-fi novels about space exploration, often showcasing people in dire situations that require scientific solutions to get out of. Project Hail Mary involves the most high-stakes mission of them all, with Ryland having to do everything he can to save the world despite forgetting all the details of his mission. While Mark Watney's survival in The Martian involved his personal struggles, this upcoming sci-fi movie will see humanity reliant on the mission Gosling's character is on.

Gosling is also perfect for the movie's leading role, having previous experience portraying an astronaut when he was Neil Armstrong in First Man. He is also no stranger to the sci-fi genre in general, having also portrayed Officer K in Blade Runner 2049. Because of these recent roles in his film career, he acts as the perfect fit for the amnesiac astronaut who has to save the world. Ryland's travels will also be far from Earth, with the lead actor's performance having to encapsulate a realistic reaction to being in the vast recesses of space.

Since the movie isn't going to be released for another two years, it's unclear when production on the film will start, nor how much detail from the novel will be translated onto the big screen. However, it seems Project Hail Mary's space-faring adventure is going to be a unique entry into the sci-fi genre, showcasing a mission to save the world in an interesting way. More information on what to expect from the adaptation will likely arrive as the release date draws closer, and as more details about the film are revealed.

I enjoyed the audiobook, but kinda think that it's not going to make for a particularly good movie. Then again, I haven't seen or read the Martian, which was apparently pretty good.
