“Project Hail Mary, filmed for IMAX, is an adaptation of Andy Weir’s (author of The Martian) novel, set in the near future. Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a former schoolteacher turned astronaut, who awakens from a coma to find himself alone on a space station, with no memory of his identity or mission. As his memory gradually returns, he realizes he was sent to the Tau Ceti solar system, 12 light-years from Earth, to counteract a space phenomenon that has plunged our planet into the early stages of an ice age. As the details of his mission unfold, he must rely on his scientific expertise and resourcefulness. However, he may not be as alone as he initially thought…”
The film also stars Sandra Hüller as Eva Stratt, Ryland’s superior; Milana Vayntrub plays Olesya Ilyukhina, Ryland’s deceased Russian crewmate; with Lionel Boyce and Ken Leung also appearing in undisclosed roles.
Produced by Lord, Miller, Gosling, Ken Kao, Amy Pascal, and Andy Weir. The film is a collaboration between Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Lord Miller Productions, and Pascal Pictures.
Project Hail Mary will hit theaters and IMAX in the United States on March 20, 2026, distributed by Amazon MGM Studios through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.
