Ryan Gosling is heading to space in the first trailer for the comedic sci-fi adventure "Project Hail Mary".
The film from Amazon MGM Studios stars Gosling as Ryland Grace who makes a leap from an unassuming teacher to an astronaut assigned to a risky space mission.
The “Barbie” star appears opposite Sandra Hüller (“Anatomy of a Fall”), who convinces Gosling’s character to launch himself into space to save humanity.
The official synopsis reads, "Set in the near future, it centers on school-teacher-turned-astronaut Ryland Grace, who wakes up from a coma afflicted with amnesia. He gradually remembers that he was sent to the Tau Ceti solar system, 12 light-years from Earth, to find a means of reversing a solar dimming event that could cause the extinction of humanity."
“It’s an insanely ambitious story that’s massive in scope, and it seemed really hard to make, and that’s kind of our bag,” Gosling said about the film at CinemaCon. “This is why we go to the movies. And I’m not just saying it because I’m in it. I’m also saying it because I’m a producer on the film.”
Based on the Andy Weir novel of the same name, the film was directed by “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
Drew Goddard, who penned the film adaption of Weir’s “The Martian,” wrote the script.
“The Martian,” which was directed by Ridley Scott and starred Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain, went on to garner seven Oscar nominations and was a box office smash.
Besides “Barbie,” Gosling recently appeared in “The Fall Guy.” He also played astronaut Neil Armstrong in “First Man,” which saw him reunite with “La La Land” filmmaker Damien Chazelle.
Hüller earned an Oscar nomination for “Anatomy of a Fall” and also appeared in “The Zone of Interest.”
Lord and Miller won an Oscar for “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and previously helmed “21 Jump Street” and “The Lego Movie.”
"Project Hail Mary" is set to debut in theaters and IMAX on March 20, 2026.
