Major, major, major spoilers for the book Project Hail Mary are ahead!!! Read with caution. Also, I recommend reading the novel before watching the film that will be released on the 2026 movie schedule.
After reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, all I can think about is its upcoming book-to-screen adaptation. As a fan of the film The Martian, I was already stoked for the release of Project Hail Mary; however, after reading the novel it’s based on, my excitement has risen to a level that’s deserving of jazz hands. But, now I also have lots of questions too, because I can’t even begin to imagine how this space-based tale will be fully adapted to the big screen by Ryan Gosling, who will play Ryland, and the directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
