The official trailer for Project Hail Mary, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, offers a gripping glimpse into humanity’s last hope. Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a scientist who wakes alone on a spacecraft with no memory of the mission—and the fate of Earth hanging in the balance.

Built from Andy Weir’s bestseller (The Martian), the film follows Grace as he pieces together his purpose among the stars. Brief flashes reveal a looming cosmic catastrophe and a looming alien ally that could be key to saving Earth. Scenes aboard the vessel highlight intense, claustrophobic atmosphere—rusted metal corridors, soft lighting, Gosling’s weary determination.

The trailer cleverly balances epic ambition with intimate stakes: Gosling drifting in zero gravity, executing precision experiments under pressure, and confronting the unknown. With Hans Zimmer’s score swelling in the background, the director duo blend scientific rigor and emotional resonance. Hinting at humor, sacrifice, and wonder, the footage promises a thrilling ride that’s both cerebral and cinematic.

Project Hail Mary lands in theaters on March 15, 2026—just in time to launch a year of sci-fi blockbusters.
