Project Hail Mary Trailer Teases Ryan Gosling’s Interstellar Mission

Amazon MGM Studios has released the official trailer and poster for Project Hail Mary, the upcoming adaptation of the novel by Andy Weir. The film is scheduled to open in theaters on March 20, 2026.

In Project Hail Mary, science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: to solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out.

He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the award-winning creators of the Spider-Verse franchise, the film was written by Drew Goddard.

The Project Hail Mary cast includes Ryan Gosling (upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter), Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub.

The film’s producers include Amy Pascal, p.g.a., Ryan Gosling, Phil Lord, p.g.a., Christopher Miller, p.g.a., Aditya Sood, p.g.a., Rachel O’Connor, p.g.a., and Andy Weir. The executive producers include Patricia Whitcher, Drew Goddard, Sarah Esberg, Lucy Kitada, Nikki Baida, and Ken Kao.

The 2021 Andy Weir novel is officially described as follows: “Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it.

“All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

“His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species.

“And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?”
