The anticipation builds for “Project Hail Mary,” as Amazon MGM Studios prepares to release the trailer for the highly anticipated astronaut sci-fi film. Directed by the acclaimed duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the movie is set to hit theaters on March 20, 2026, with no major competing titles scheduled for that weekend.
Starring Ryan Gosling, who will portray the science teacher Ryland Grace, the film is adapted from Andy Weir’s novel, known for its thrilling narrative and scientific depth. Drew Goddard penned the adapted screenplay and will also be an executive producer alongside Sarah Esberg and Ken Kao, promising a blend of drama, action, and humor typical of Lord and Miller’s filmmaking style.
The story follows Grace as he awakens on a spaceship with no memory of how he got there, tasked with a mission to unravel a mystery around a substance threatening Earth’s sun and, subsequently, all life on the planet. As Grace pieces together his past, an unexpected friendship offers him companionship in this dire mission.
In a statement, MGM’s Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy expressed their excitement about the collaboration, noting the impressive talent coming together around Weir’s remarkable narrative. “We are thrilled to have them partner with Ryan, Ken, Andy, Amy, and Aditya to bring this movie to life for big screens everywhere,” they stated. Pascal echoed this enthusiasm, calling the filmmakers a dream team and expressing eagerness to start the project.
In addition to the upcoming trailer, Amazon MGM has unveiled the first look at the film’s poster, generating even more excitement among fans. With its unique premise and a strong creative team behind it, “Project Hail Mary” holds the potential to captivate audiences upon its release.
This exciting project not only showcases innovative storytelling but also highlights the power of collaboration among top talent in the industry, promising a bright future for cinematic adaptations of literature.
