Project Hail Mary (2026)

Science teacher Ryland Grace (Oscar-nominated Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no memory of how he got there. As his memory returns, he uncovers a mission to stop a mysterious substance from killing the Sun, which can save Earth. Soon he encounters a mysterious being from another planet and together, they form a bond and embark on this mission. This inspiring space adventure comes to us from co-directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse, 21 Jump Street) and was also adapted from a best-selling novel written by Andy Weir who was also the original author of another best-selling sci-fi novel (The Martian) which was also adapted into a highly acclaimed blockbuster more than ten years ago. Also returning from adapting The Martian is Oscar-nominated screenwriter Drew Goddard. The supporting cast including recent Oscar-nominee Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall), Emmy-nominee Lionel Boyce (The Bear) and.....a plucky rock-like creature nicknamed "Rocky" from another planet?? :P
