The film 'Project Hail Mary' was released, starring Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher and molecular biology expert. According to reports, the character is sent on a space mission to save humanity after the sun is reportedly dying due to astrophages, deadly space cells. The film is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with a runtime of 156 minutes according to one source and 2 hours 36 minutes according to another.
It is reportedly based on Andy Weir's book, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard. Reviews describe it as having spectacular scenery and a focus on human cooperation, but some critics find the tone childish. Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, and Ken Leung also appear in the film.
