With over 400 million views and counting, it's safe to say that the wondrous first trailer for directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller's "Project Hail Mary" is a stellar hit.
"Project Hail Mary" is being adapted from the 2021 New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Andy Weir ("The Martian," "Artemis"). The upcoming sci-fi movie stars Ryan Gosling as 6th-grade science teacher and amnesiac astronaut Ryland Grace, who's on a deep space rescue mission to save our sun and other stars from dying. En route to his destination in the Tau Ceti star system, Grace encounters an unlikely alien ally that helps to solve a cosmic mystery involving destructive spacefaring microbes called Astrophage.
