Project Hail Mary is a 2026 American epic science fiction comedy film produced and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and written by Drew Goddard, based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir. It stars Ryan Gosling, who also produced the film; Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz, and Lionel Boyce appear in supporting roles. The film follows Ryland Grace, a middle school teacher who awakens aboard an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he got there.
Pre-production began in 2020, before Weir's novel was published. Goddard, who wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Weir's previous novel, The Martian (2015), returned for this film. Filming occurred throughout 2024 in the United Kingdom, both on location and in sets. All scenes aboard the spacecraft Hail Mary were filmed on a real practical set which was constructed for the film.
