Drew Goddard has confirmed that production on Amazon MGM Studios’ Project Hail Mary which stars Ryan Gosling has officially wrapped. The project will be based on Andy Weir’s 2021 sci-fi novel of the same name. It’ll hit cinemas on March 20, 2026.
During a recent interview, Goddard said that the film is similar to Ridley Scott’s The Martian, which Goddard adapted from Weir’s 2011 novel.
“If you like ‘The Martian,’ I suspect you’re really going to like what we’re cooking up with ‘Hail Mary,’” Gosling said. “Chris and Phil and I have known each other for decades now, and I love their work. And then obviously, Ryan Gosling is one of the staggering talents of our time.”
Project Hail Mary will also star Sandra Hüller, Milana Vayntrub, Bastian Antonio Fuentes, Isla McRae, and James Wright.
“The story follows Ryland Grace, a schoolteacher-turned-astronaut who wakes up from a coma, alone, on a space station with no memory of who he is or his mission,” reads the synopsis. “His memory returns in bursts and he pieces together that he was sent to the Tau Ceti solar system, 12 light-years from Earth, to reverse the impact of a space event that had already hurled our planet into the early stages of an Ice Age. As details of the mission unravel, he must call on all of his scientific training and sheer ingenuity, but he might not have to do it alone…”
