Ryan Gosling Is Set to Play an Astronaut Again in the Sci-Fi Film THE HAIL MARY
Ryan Gosling (First Man, La La Land) is set to star in another astronaut movie titled The Hail Mary. The actor will also be a producer on the project, which MGM is currently negotiating to acquire.
Gosling most recently played astronaut Neil Armstrong in First Man. In this new sci-fi film, he will play “a solitary astronaut on a space ship who is trying to save Earth.” That sounds kind of similar to Brad Pitt’s Ad Astra. The report explains that there “are some very clever twists,” and it is “consistent with the ingenuity that made The Martian a thrilling ride.”
The movie is based on the upcoming novel by Andy Weir (The Martian, Artemis). An adaptation of his novel Artemis is currently in development with Phil Lord and Chris Miller directing.
Gosling must like playing an astronaut. Maybe he’ll only star in astronaut movies from now on.
