Everything To Expect From Project Hail Mary
Project Hail Maryis one of Weir’s most mind-bending novels, asRyland tries to remember why he’s in space and what he needs to do in order to save humanityfrom their calamity. While it wasn’t as highly-praised asThe Martian, the fact it’s getting a film adaptation shows its story can work well on the big screen. In addition to Gosling’s starring and producing role, the film will include Sandra Hüller as Eva Stratt, Ryland’s boss, another major character. This indicates, despite its spatial setting, Earth will be just as important.
Gosling’s most recent work was leading thecast ofThe Fall Guy, which made less than expected at the box office but has been critically praised nonetheless. Part of this positive reception included his performance as the lead hero, a trend that can continue inProject Hail Marybecause of the unique role he’ll be taking on. The story is also likely to focus not only on space, but on what’s happening on Earth as well, giving it a broader storyline that feels both isolating and open at the same time.
