First Look: Project Hail Mary at CinemaCon 2025
The anticipation surrounding the upcoming science fiction film Project Hail Mary, adapted from Andy Weir’s acclaimed novel, is building as new footage has been unveiled at CinemaCon 2025. Starring Ryan Gosling as the lead character, astronaut Ryland Grace, the film centers around a high-stakes mission aimed at saving humanity from impending doom. Directed by the renowned Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, known for their work on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this cinematic interpretation promises to deliver an exhilarating experience when it hits theaters on March 30, 2026.
Insight Into the Footage at CinemaCon
During Amazon MGM’s panel at CinemaCon, attendees had the opportunity to view compelling footage that provided a glimpse into the character’s journey. The presentation started with Brian Gosling’s character, Ryland Grace, portrayed as a middle school science teacher before embarking on an extraordinary journey to space. The clips showcased his initial training struggles and highlighted the recruitment process for Project Hail Mary. Both Lord and Miller, alongside Gosling, took the stage to discuss the film, with Gosling emphasizing its “insanely ambitious” nature.
Footage Highlights
The teaser kicks off with a light-hearted “knock knock” joke followed by Grace teaching a science class. Viewers are introduced to the tension around the mission, where Ryland meets fellow scientists and learns about Project Hail Mary. One scientist explains, “It’s what you Americans will call a long shot,” to which Grace responds, “Hail Mary.” The footage transitions to intense preparations for the mission, culminating in Grace’s doubts about his lack of space training. We see him on Earth, later awakening in space with a beard. The trailer cleverly captures his humorous perspective: “This may be very hard for you to understand, but some people are not good at this.” In a thrilling moment, an AI announces, “Object approaching,” leading to Grace’s first encounter with an alien spacecraft, featuring comedic moments like, “Anybody home?” He concludes with a charming line delivered to the camera: “So I met an alien,” encapsulating the film’s tone that balances humor with adventure.
