Amazon MGM Studios has released the first trailer for Project Hail Mary, a sci-fi comedy starring Ryan Gosling as an ordinary science teacher turned unlikely astronaut tasked with saving Earth from cosmic disaster. The film is directed by Oscar-winning duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) and adapted from Andy Weir’s bestselling novel by screenwriter Drew Goddard (The Martian).
Gosling plays Ryland Grace, a middle-school teacher who wakes up aboard a spaceship, alone and light-years from Earth, with no memory of how he got there. As fragments of his memory return, Grace realises he’s humanity’s last hope in a mission to investigate a mysterious substance that’s threatening the sun’s ability to sustain life on Earth. As he pieces together the truth, he also forms an unlikely bond with an alien life form that may be key to his survival.
Joining Gosling is Sandra Hüller, the Oscar-nominated actor from Anatomy of a Fall, who plays the scientist responsible for convincing Grace to leave Earth behind.
Gosling, who also serves as a producer, called the film “an insanely ambitious story that’s massive in scope,” during a CinemaCon appearance earlier this year. The project marks another spacefaring role for the actor, who previously portrayed Neil Armstrong in First Man.
Project Hail Mary is slated for theatrical release in 2025.
