  Info in Movie News | Wednesday Addams is back at Nevermore Academy, and no, she’s not thrilled about it. With new enemies lurking, a stalker sending cryptic threats, and her name now plastered all over campus like some reluctant rockstar, Wednesday’s sophomore year is shaping up to be even stranger than the last. According to The Guardian, Season 2 opens with a flash of chaos. After saving Nevermore from the undead pilgrim Joseph Crackstone in Season 1, Wednesday has earned a cult-like following among her peers. However, the goth queen of gloom is rather unimpressed. However, the goth queen of gloom is not satisfied. “I liked it better when I was feared and hated,” she grumbles, while her peers gather around her, begging for autographs. But there’s no time for admiration, or personal space. Within minutes of the first episode, we’re introduced to a fresh villain, the Kansas City Scalper. He’s a doll-collecting, serial-killing dog groomer in a velour tracksuit played with greasy ...

Project Hail Mary Sets Trailer Record as Ryan Gosling Leads Sci-Fi Epic

Project Hail Mary Sets Trailer Record as Ryan Gosling Leads Sci-Fi Epic
 

Info in Movie News | Amazon MGM’s upcoming sci-fi movie Project Hail Mary is already turning heads months before its release. The first trailer for the movie dropped last week and immediately made history. On its first week alone, the movie has racked up over 400 million views, making it the most-watched trailer ever for a movie not based on a sequel or a remake. The movie features Ryan Gosling as a lead, and the excitement is real, the ones who loved the original book and the new ones are already talking.

Collider reports that in Project Hail Mary the story revolves around Ryland Grace, played by Gosling, a scientist who lost his professional reputation and became a teacher. Grace wakes up on a spaceship without memory of who he is or how he ended there. While he regains his memory, the seriousness of the mission of saving humanity becomes clear to him. It is an attempt with very high stakes to rescue the Earth from the death of species. Such a story is a combination of gloom, the science, and the good that may result, which are the elements that The Martian and Interstellar fans are most likely to appreciate.

The movie is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the pair of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The LEGO Movie. With their unique mix of heart, humor, and high-concept storytelling, Lord and Miller are the ones who can be trusted to bring the real magic of the comic book to life. The Martian, World War Z, Daredevil, and Lost are just some of Drew Goddard's works whose screenplay he adapted. The mere fact of the presence of that creative team has already set the bar very high.

Along with Gosling, the cast also features Sandra Hüller, who performs the role of Eva Stratt - a stern government representative who is in charge of managing the Earth's response to the crisis. Hüller, who is known for her winning performance in Anatomy of a Fall, is the perfect person to show the full range of the character. The strong ensemble is supported by Liz Kingsman, Milana Vayntrub, James Ortiz, and Ken Leung, whose presence helps to add depth to this ambitious project.

Project Hail Mary is a movie inspired by the novel Andy Weir's which was also the source for The Martian. The novel has been accorded high critical honor for the harmonious combination of the real science and compelling storytelling. Weir’s style, the combination of wit, scientific curiosity, and human resilience, is evidently the most suitable for the movie’s tone.  For fans of audiobooks, Artemis, another Weir novel, is available on Audible and narrated by Ahsoka star Rosario Dawson.

There have been some fans who have even predicted that the movie might be released earlier because of the explosive response to the trailer. However, industry sources still think that the extensive number of visual effects required will most probably keep the schedule unchanged. At present, the movie is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026.

The star power of cast and crew, the emotional charge of the plot, and a trailer that has already broken records, Project Hail Mary could be the most talked-about sci-fi movie in years. Irrespective of whether you are a book reader or not, this is one cinematic mission that you will definitely want to witness.
