Phil Lord & Chris Miller’s ‘Project Hail Mary’ Trailer Released with Ryan Gosling
A new trailer for Project Hail Mary has just been released, giving fans an early look at the upcoming sci-fi adventure directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
The film, based on Andy Weir’s 2021 novel of the same name, stars Ryan Gosling, who also serves as a producer, alongside Sandra Hüller and Milana Vayntrub. This marks Lord and Miller’s first completed film in over a decade, following 22 Jump Street in 2014.
The story centers on astronaut Ryland Grace, played by Gosling, who wakes up on a spacecraft with no memory of who he is or why he’s there. He soon realizes he is the last survivor of a mission to the Tau Ceti system, sent to find a solution to a disaster threatening Earth. Grace must use his scientific skills, intelligence, and determination to complete the mission, but he may not be entirely alone.
