Ryan Gosling’s upcoming sci-fi movie Project Hail Mary has begun filming, with co-director Christopher Miller posting a behind-the-scenes image of production starting. Based on a novel by Andy Weir (The Martian), the movie stars Gosling as Ryland Grace, an amnesiac astronaut in the deep reaches of space trying to find a way to save humanity from an approaching disaster. Project Hail Mary’s story is being tackled by Miller and Phil Lord, best known for their work directing The Lego Movie and writing Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Now, Miller has confirmed Project Hail Mary has begun filming, posting a behind-the-scenes photo of a clapboard to show it has begun.
For fans of this book, if you haven’t read it/them, the Bobiverse books by D. E. Taylor might be up your alley. If you do audiobooks, Ray Porter reads them (same dude that read Hail Mary).
FYI great ideas but poor execution. Really had to power through the first book. 2 and 3 were a bit better. 4 shouldn’t have existed. I’d instead suggest Lem or Asimov stuff.
Lol. Lem and Asimov aren’t really in the same category. Scifi? Sure but one’s adjacent to comedy and the other two are hard scifi. It’s like saying Spaceballs isn’t as good as Dune because it doesn’t have the same world building. And honestly, if you had to “power though” the first book maybe you should have just passed on the rest. There isn’t a test at the end.
And he took it personally
