Ryan Gosling Turned Obstacles Into Opportunities on ‘Project Hail Mary’ — with a Little Help from Julia Roberts
In 2020, "The Martian" author Andy Weir sent Ryan Gosling the unpublished manuscript of Project Hail Mary, about a science teacher stranded in space with a rock-like alien.
Speaking at a guild screening Q&A, Gosling said the book "just took me hostage" and drove him to bring in Phil Lord and Chris Miller to direct and Amy Pascal to produce.
IndieWire's piece follows how the team handled obstacles on the way to the finished film, with a little help from Julia Roberts.
