Faced with this daunting challenge, the amnesiac astronaut must summon every ounce of his resilience and ingenuity to find a way not only to save himself but also to avert a catastrophic disaster that threatens the very survival of humanity.

‘Project Hail Mary’ is based on one of Andy Weir’s most intricate and twisted novels, promising an intense and immersive cinematic experience. While the book may not have garnered the same level of critical acclaim as ‘The Martian’, its gripping plot and compelling narrative have earned it a dedicated fan base, eagerly awaiting its translation to the big screen.

Ryan Gosling’s remarkable versatility as an actor, spanning genres from comedy in ‘Nice Guys’ and ‘Barbie’ to romance in ‘The Notebook’ and action in ‘The Grey Man’, makes him the perfect choice to embody the role of Ryland Grace. His portrayal promises to be a treat for audiences, as he navigates the complexities of an isolated existence and the dire consequences that loom on the horizon. 

Joining Gosling is the talented Sandra Hüller, who takes on the pivotal role of Eva Stratt, Grace’s boss, whose influence will be felt throughout the events unfolding on Earth. The film promises to explore the stark contrast between the isolated world in which the amnesiac Grace is trapped and the chaotic reality on Earth, where people brace themselves for a potential disaster of unimaginable proportions.
