Astronaut Ryland Grace awakens on a spacecraft with no memory of himself or his mission. He slowly deduces he is the sole survivor of a crew sent to the Tau Ceti solar system in search of a solution to a catastrophic event on Earth. In his search for answers, Grace must rely on his vast array of scientific knowledge, sheer ingenuity, and human will – but he may not have to search alone.
About Project Hail Mary Movie
Project Hail Mary is an American epic science fiction film based on the novel by Andy Weir. Directed and produced by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and written by Drew Goddard, it stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, and Milana Vayntrub.
In March 2020, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures was nearing a deal to acquire the project, an adaptation of the then-upcoming Andy Weir novel Project Hail Mary, with Ryan Gosling set to star in and produce the film. The rights for the novel were acquired by MGM’s Michael De Luca for $3 million.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were hired to direct and produce the film in May. Drew Goddard (who previously adapted Weir’s The Martian into a feature film) was hired to write the screenplay the next month and the title was tentatively called Hail Mary. In April 2024, Amazon MGM Studios, who acquired MGM in 2022, announced a possible 2026 release window for the film.
In May 2024, Sandra Hüller joined the cast of the film, with Greig Fraser hired as cinematographer. In June, Milana Vayntrub joined the cast.
Principal photography began in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2024, and wrapped on October 26.
