The trailer of the action-packed sci-fi adventure, Project Hail Mary, is finally out. In the much-anticipated film from Amazon MGM Studios, Ryan Gosling takes on the lead role of Ryland Grace. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the film is set to hit the theatres across India on March 20, 2026. It is based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir.
The trailer introduces Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace 鈥 a lone astronaut, actually a middle school science teacher, who wakes up on a spaceship far from Earth. To add to this, he has no memory of himself and knows nothing about why he is on the spacecraft. As Grace gradually recollects the past moments, he begins to uncover being a part of a mission: Project Hail Mary, to save Earth from a dying sun.
As a part of his mission, Grace must travel 11.9 light years away to a star that is immune to the substance causing the sun to die out. The reason? There is a hope that the star has the solution to save everything on Earth from extinction.
Project Hail Mary stars Ryan Gosling alongside Sandra H眉ller as Eva Stratt. Eva is a European Space Agency official who recruits Grace for the mission as she believes that he can solve this galactic mystery, given his background in molecular biology.
Joining Ryan Gosling and Sandra are Milana Vayntrub, Ken Leung and Lionel Boyce, adding to the star-studded cast. There鈥檚 also a surprise alien friend who extends his helping hand during Grace鈥檚 deep-space journey.
Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Project Hail Mary is produced by Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Aditya Sood, Rachel O鈥機onnor, Andy Weir and Ryan Gosling. It is written by Drew Goddard, who also wrote the screenplay for The Martian.
During a CinemaCon appearance earlier this year, Ryan Gosling called the film 鈥渁n insanely ambitious story that鈥檚 massive in scope.鈥 He added, 鈥淚t seemed really hard to make, and that鈥檚 kind of our bag 鈥 This is why we go to the movies. And I鈥檓 not just saying it because I鈥檓 in it. I鈥檓 also saying it because I鈥檓 a producer on the film.鈥
Interestingly, the project marks another spacefaring role for Gosling, who previously was seen playing Neil Armstrong in First Man.
