After a 53-day theatrical run that earned $656 million at the global box office, Project Hail Mary has landed on Digital for rent ($19.99) and purchase ($24.99).

Based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian), the sci-fi epic is directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller (The LEGO Movie, 21 Jump Street) and written by Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods, The Martian).

Ryan Gosling stars as science teacher Ryland Grace, who wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out.

He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, and Milana Vayntrub round out the cast.

Lord, Miller, Gosling, and Weir produce alongside Amy Pascal, Aditya Sood, and Rachel O’Connor. Executive producers include Goddard, Patricia Whitcher, Sarah Esberg, Lucy Kitada, Nikki Baida, and Ken Kao.

Project Hail Mary stands as the second highest-grossing film of 2026, behind The Super Mario Bros Galaxy Movie‘s $940 million worldwide total.

Ryan Gosling learns to communicate with an eyeless alien named Rocky in the new clip from Project Hail Mary.

“It’s the most incredible theatrical experience,” Gosling says in the accompanying featurette. “It’s about how miracles are possible, as long as you don’t give up hope.”

In the film, science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out.

He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Guillermo del Toro recently praised the film,”The amount of practical sets and effects and puppets is just so beautiful to see, so inspiring to hold. It’s a goal — and aspiration and a commitment.”

If you were still doubting its existence, doubt no more.  The crossover film between the Jump Street and Men In Black franchises is officially happening.  Furthermore, it now has a title: MIB 23.  This madcap Sony crossover event will go into production this June, ahead of a Summer 2017 release.  According to Variety, Phil Lord & Chris Miller will not be returning to direct, but they remain on board as producers.  Instead, James Bobin (“Flight of the Conchords“) will take on helming duties, fresh off directing two sequels for Disney (Muppets Most Wanted and Alice Through The Looking Glass).  And yes, both Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum will be headlining the film.

A lot of fans of the two existing Jump Street films have been rolling their eyes at this project and I honestly have no idea why.  21 Jump Street wonderfully attacked the industry’s reboot craze.  22 Jump Street targeted Hollywood’s obsession with a never-ending parade of sequels.  The only logical place for a third outing to go is to set their sights on crossovers.  By combining its comedic might with the genre-bending ridiculousness of the MIB franchise, this third Jump Street film has the chance to give us the cinematic universe-skewering trilogy-capper that we deserve.  It’s a genius idea and I sincerely hope that they pull it off.

Word is that neither Will Smith nor Tommy Lee Jones will be reprising their roles as Agents Jay and Kay from the existing MIB trilogy.  That’s a bummer, but here’s hoping Sony can still manage to pull in a few of the supporting characters from the franchise.  I’m sure they’re hoping this will somehow revive the MIB property, so look for them to cast some actors who can carry it beyond this satirical crossover spectacular.  Personally, I’m hoping that Ice Cube’s character has somehow been promoted to head of the MIB.  If we can’t have Rip Torn screaming at agents anymore, who better to replace him than Cube?

Hat tip to ComicBook for the logo reveal…

It looks like a certain scruffy looking nerfherder is going to be getting a movie of his own!

Lucasfilm has announced that The Lego Movie directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord will be working on a new film in the Star Wars universe that will focus on a young Han Solo.

The story focuses on how young Han Solo became the smuggler, thief, and scoundrel whom Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first encountered in the cantina at Mos Eisley!

Lord and Miller stated:

“This is the first film we’ve worked on that seems like a good idea to begin with. We promise to take risks, to give the audience a fresh experience, and we pledge ourselves to be faithful stewards of these characters who mean so much to us. This is a dream come true for us. And not the kind of dream where you’re late for work and all your clothes are made of pudding, but the kind of dream where you get to make a film with some of the greatest characters ever, in a film franchise you’ve loved since before you can remember having dreams at all.”

The script is being written by Lawrence and Jon Kasdan, who added:

“We’re so excited to be working with Chris and Phil, who will bring a fresh new dimension to the Star Wars universe. They’re two of the smartest, funniest and most original filmmakers around, and the ideal choice to tell the story of Han Solo, one of the coolest characters in the galaxy.”

Slated for a May 25, 2018 release, the film will be executive produced by Lawrence Kasdan and Jason McGatlin and co-produced by Will Allegra.

While Sony is destroying the live-action Spider-Man franchise all over again, they’re actually planning something “spectacular”.

One of the best children’s movies in the past decade is The Lego Movie, which was not only entertaining for kids, but also the adults who took them to the theater (and were forced to watch over and over again on home video).

Sony Pictures has tapped the widely sought after Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, directors of said Lego Movie, to write and produce an animated Spider-Man feature, dubbed the “first of it’s kind”, to be released July 20, 2018.

“It will be something quite unlike anything you have seen before,” said Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures entertainment motion picture group during the Sony Studios presentation at CinemaCon. “The highly technical term for it is, ‘It’s (expletive) awesome.’ ”

This is exciting news as doing something animated opens up unlimited opportunities. I recall Raimi having huge difficulties with both Dr. Octopus and Venom because of CGI limitations. With animation, there are no limitations – and this includes casting multiple villains/characters. And maybe, just maybe, we get to see an African American Spider-Man? That would be cool, no?! Oh, and if it’s a success, could it open the door to other animated features?! (Yes.)

The live-action Spider-Man reboot is casting now for release in July 28, 2017. The animated version will not tie-in to the existing live-action Marvel franchises.

Twitter writer Nikki Finke is reporting that Columbia Pictures already has their proton packs strapped on and are aiming to trap two directors for the long-gestured Ghostbusters III.

According to her tweet, 21 Jump Street and Lego Movie duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are currently in talks to replace Ivan Reitman, who left the project after the sad passing of Harold Ramis.

This is pretty spectacular news as not only are these guys killer directors, but it also sort of indirectly confirms the speculation that Jonah Hill was in talks to play one of the new Ghost Busters.

Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver were all at one time rumored to be returning, although now the story is completely being rewritten. It’s said to be about a ragtag group of paranormal researchers reopen their notorious ghost removal service, and a new generation of Ghostbusters is brought on board to be green slimed and trained to contain the mischievous spirits.
