After raking in $11 million in Thursday night previews<\/a>, Project Hail Mary<\/em> is off to a great start, and I’ve got my fingers crossed that this one will be a major success. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller from a script by Drew Goddard, and based on the novel by Andy Weir, the film stars Ryan Gosling as a man who awakens on an interstellar spacecraft with no memory of how he came to be there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All About Project Hail Mary<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how he got there,<\/mark>” reads the official synopsis. “As his memory slowly returns, he soon discovers he must solve the riddle behind a mysterious substance that’s causing the sun to die out. As details of the mission unravel, he calls on his scientific training and sheer ingenuity — but he may not have to do it alone.<\/mark>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Gosling, the film also stars Sandra H\u00fcller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, and more. James Ortiz serves as the voice and lead puppeteer of Rocky, an alien Ryland encounters on his journey. However, Gosling said they had originally planned on finding another voice for the character during post-production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“James Ortiz was meant to just be the puppeteer and we were going to figure out Rocky’s voice later. But James started doing the lines for me so that I had someone to read lines with, so I wasn’t just imagining this dialogue,<\/mark>” Gosling explained<\/a>. “[James] understood Rocky so deeply that it got to a point where he knew what Rocky would say, what he wouldn’t say, what he would do. James was Rocky and James is Rocky now and you can’t imagine it any other way.<\/mark>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Loved It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hype machine has been running high on this one, but our own Chris Bumbray thinks it\u2019s well deserved. \u201cWhile it runs a hefty 156 minutes, the running time zips along, with Lord and Miller having a good handle on pace,<\/mark><\/mark>\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s really an impeccably made movie, with everyone involved doing superlative work, including Daniel Pemberton, who contributes a strong score. It\u2019s the kind of movie that deserves to become the next Sinners<\/em>, so hopefully audiences will give it a shot. It\u2019s upbeat and leaves you walking out of the theater feeling optimistic \u2014 which I think all of us could use in these rather somber times.<\/mark><\/mark>\u201d You can check out the rest of his review right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
