Drew Goddard, who adapted The Martian, will adapt this one as well.įrom what I understand, Project Hail Mary was originally conceived as a space opera, like Star Wars. The movie adaptation will star Ryan Gosling and be directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
Premise: A science teacher is chosen for a deep space mission that will save the earth from a virus that is slowly darkening the sun.Ībout: Andy Weir, who’s responsible for one of the biggest self-publishing success stories ever – The Martian – is back in his wheelhouse with his third book, which currently has a staggering 37,000 reviews on Amazon. It follows the life of porter and smuggler Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara as she gets caught up in a conspiracy for control of the city.The writer of The Martian attempts to remake Interstellar… with an E.T. Artemis takes place in the late 2080s and is set in Artemis, the first and so far only city on the Moon. Since the release of The Martian, Weir's works have been hot in Hollywood, with his novel Artemis being set up as a project for Phil Lord and Chris Miller. The movie stars Matt Damon as the stranded Watney as well as Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Sean Bean, Sebastian Stan, Donald Glover, Aksel Hennie, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Meanwhile, back on Earth, members of NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring him home, while his crewmates hatch their own plan for a daring rescue mission. With only a meager amount of supplies, the stranded visitor must utilize his wits and spirit to find a way to survive on the hostile planet. The Martian centers on a group of astronauts who blast off from the planet Mars following a sandstorm, leaving behind Mark Watney, who is presumed dead after a fierce storm. Gosling is also repped by CAA, and he's lawyered by Robert Offer.įollowing the Best Picture nominated Ridley Scott-directed The Martian, Weir's prose has been in high demand. The book is set to be published next spring by Random House. CAA is brokering the book deal with David Fugate of Launch Books, after running an auction that hopefully will be the start of more deal-making. Ryan Gosling is attached to play the put-upon astronaut, and will also be on producing duty alongside Ken Kao.
Much like The Martian, Project Hail Mary is also grounded in reality in the same way, as well as being a thrilling ride. Project Hail Mary is described as being similar in many ways to The Martian, and continues with the kind of ingenuity that made the latter book and movie so popular.
The story is said to involve some very clever twists and turns which you will want to avoid having spoiled. Because aren't they always? It seems nobody just gets to drift aimlessly through space anymore.
Author Andy Weir's newest book, Project Hail Mary, is described as a solitary tale of an astronaut on a space ship who is tasked with saving the planet.
