Amazon MGM Studios on Monday offered fans a first look at Ryan Gosling going interstellar in his highly anticipated upcoming film, ‘Project Hail Mary’.

This comedy sci-fi thriller, adapted from Andy Weir’s novel of the same name, sees the ‘Drive’ star play a regular, everyday teacher, who suddenly finds himself assigned to a risky space mission with consequences for the world.

“It’s an insanely ambitious story that’s massive in scope, and it seemed really hard to make, and that’s kind of our bag … This is why we go to the movies. And I’m not just saying it because I’m in it. I’m also saying it because I’m a producer on the film,” Gosling said about the film, at a CinemaCon event in Vegas, where the trailer had first been screened.

The trailer also features ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ fame Sandra Hüller as a government agent, persuading Gosling to undertake a bleak misssion to save a dying Earth, in a manner reminiscent of ‘Interstellar’

“I put the ‘not’ in ‘astronaut’,” his character Ryland Grace says in response—immediately  bringing attention to the fact that this film would be a different kind of ride.

The film is helmed by filmmaking duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller—the minds behind beloved classics like the ‘Jump Street’ franchise, ‘The LEGO Movie’, and ‘Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse’.

Drew Goddard, who penned the film adaptation of Andy Weir’s ‘The Martian’, (starring Matt Damon), wrote the script. The Ridley Scott film went on to become a box office hit, grabbing seven Oscar nominations as well.

Three-time Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling was last seen in ‘The Fall Guy’, alongside Emily Blunt, and ‘Barbie’, alongside Margot Robbie—both of which performed quite well at the box office.
