“Project Hail Mary,” the film adaptation of Andy Weir’s best-selling novel, will be available to stream on Prime Video starting July 3. The film is also streaming on MGM+, where it arrived last month.

Creative duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, whose previous films include “The Lego Movie” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” directed the film with a script from Drew Goddard. This marks Goddard’s second Weir adaptation, having worked on the 2015 film adaptation of “The Martian.” When asked about working with the directorial pair, Goddard stated that they “thrive in finding the humanity inside of these crazy characters,” something this film required.

The sci-fi thriller follows Ryland Grace, played by Ryan Gosling, as he embarks on a near-impossible space mission with one simple goal: saving the world. Gosling’s co-stars include Sandra Hüller as Eva Stratt and puppeteer James Ortiz as Rocky, the adorable alien that accompanies Grace on his outer space adventure.

“Project Hail Mary” has grossed $680 million globally after originally racking up $80.5 million in its March box office launch, marking Amazon Studios’ biggest opening, previously set by “Creed III.” It became the largest debut of the year, until it was dethroned by Universal’s “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.”

Less than a month after the film’s release, NASA launched its own mission into space with Artemis II. The goal, according to NASA, is to test how the spacecraft operates in deep space, with the bonus that this marks the furthest a crew has ever traveled from Earth, breaking the previous record set by the Apollo 13 mission. Ahead of lift-off, the four-person crew got to watch “Project Hail Mary,” and Gosling later sent the crew best wishes via video.

In an interview with Den of Geek, Andy Weir stated that he “might write a sequel someday,” but it’s not something he’s currently working on. He does, however, have ideas for an expanded storyline, but nothing “that’s good enough to run with yet.”
