Ryan Gosling: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

Description

If you know me you will know how much I adore the novel Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. We follow science teacher Ryland Grace as he wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how we got there. As his memory slowly returns, he discovers he is the last surviving person on a mission into space to understand a substance called astrophage. Astrophage is causing the sun to die out, and scientists have discovered a distant planet that might hold the key to destroying it. Ryland Grace has to use his scientific training to finish the mission alone, and meets an unlikely ally in space. It’s a story of friendship, communication, understanding, and resilience. It’s both laugh out loud funny and cry your eyes out heartbreaking, a modern sci-fi classic. Now, Andy Weir’s novel has been adapted for the screen. Ryan Gosling takes on the role of Ryland Grace – he’s the Oscar-nominated star of Barbie, La La Land, Drive, The Nice Guys, and The Notebook. He is a force to be reckoned with, and a true movie star. We’ll also be joined by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the directors of Project Hail Mary. They’re a filmmaking and acting duo behind Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street, and the Spider-Verse franchises which won them an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
