The impossible is possible in 'Project Hail Mary'

A journey light years away from our own galaxy awaits in "Project Hail Mary," the film adaptation of Andy Weir's (The Martian) hit sci-fi novel of the same name.

Long time collaborators Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are at the captain's seat as producers and directors of the film. The duo received the manuscript for Weir, and consumed it in record time."We read it in 24 hours," Miller says. "I stayed up all night. I think I went to bed at 5 am because I had to find out what happened."

Lord saw something special in the novel, and just knew that they had to helm the project. "It presents as a space adventure, a disaster movie, and then a third of the way through, it becomes an intimate character study between two individuals who have to learn how to communicate," Lord says. "That shift is what makes it special."
