We’re getting a game set in the Project Hail Mary universe, with direct involvement from Andy Weir himself! Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is a mixed reality and VR experience where we step into the role of Ryland Grace, diagnose failing systems, and work alongside Rocky to keep humanity’s last hope alive. It’s a completely new story that we’ll be able to experience on platforms like Meta Quest 3 and Pico 4. Amazing to see the Project Hail Mary universe expanding beyond the book and the movie.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller say that it took about a year and a half of research & design to create Rocky practically for ‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’. “The main thing was ‘how do I make something that I can connect with?’ He has no face… but you want to be able to relate to him.”

Project Hail Mary is now on Prime Video, free for Prime members everywhere. It’s my favorite movie that I've seen in a long time. Truly outstanding and unique. Phil Lord and Chris Miller pulled off something remarkable, Ryan Gosling is amazing, and none of this happens without Andy Weir’s compelling book. If you missed it in theaters, now's your chance. And, if you already saw it, it's an easy way to rewatch. Think you'll enjoy.

My friends and I had a bizarre encounter with a Tesla Uber driver in Austin, TX who kept going on and on about the car not having Apple CarPlay. I tried explaining to him that an Uber app will come in the future with the release of Tesla App Store but he refused to listen 🤣

Neil deGrasse Tyson called out the biggest plot hole in Project Hail Mary, and Andy Weir had to defend it live. Andy Weir: You and I are enemies now. Neil deGrasse Tyson: It was a stretch for me, as an academic, to completely embrace the idea that the entire world of biochemists is insufficient to handle this mission. And they need the one guy who has the expertise no one else has. And he’s a middle school chemistry teacher. Andy Weir: Right, so to be fair, he was a speculative xenobiologist, he’s a PhD astrobiologist, and he had done that, and then he’d left that field. He’d written papers. Neil deGrasse Tyson: But he wrote papers, so the papers are out there and other people are still active, and he’s no longer active. So why does he still become the guy? Andy Weir: Because he’s been part of the mission and the mission planning the whole time, so he understands all the other aspects of the mission as well. He knows all about the Hail Mary itself. Chuck Nice: And they don’t have time to train someone else up on all the other stuff. Andy Weir: And he’s as well trained as any of the other biologists need him to be in the field they need. Neil deGrasse Tyson: Okay, all right. He got out of that one. Andy Weir: I wriggled out of that one.

Ryan Gosling says having Rocky as a practical puppet in ‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ helped him more as an actor than if they used CGI. “It was something about how hard it was to work with the puppet and to make it real. Rocky's a bit of a diva.”

Assyro-Chaldean priest who recently returned to Iraq praying in Aramaic. He’s in a historic Church in Mosul where there are less than 50 Christian families left. “Peace be with you, Mary, who is without spot or blemish, Queen of heaven and earth.” Save ancient Christians.

More stuff from the director's commentary and it made me cry so I have to share the scene #projecthailmary 1. Director's commentary bit - After Rocky recovers from his injuries: "As Rocky returns to the movie, the lights turn on. The warmth returns. It's like the day breaking." THE WARMTH RETURNS IT'S LIKE THE DAY BREAKING FOR GRACE 😭 2. Rocky leaning in as HARD into the hug as possible because he gets it now, he's missed Grace too 3. Grace's world inside the Hail Mary looking dim and dull as he waited for his Rocky to heal and come back to him 4. the way the music changes into a more hopeful and sweet sound when Rocky starts to make his way to Grace and goes "Grace?" 5. Rocky following Grace's sleepy hand movement with his entire body he's so fucking cute 😭 6. "no...is yes?" and Grace's sofy smile and this scene ends with an old joke between gracerocky bc of course it does

This isn’t a film, but Christopher Miller created this series called The Afterparty on Apple TV+, with Lord & Miller producing, and I have to say, it’s so freaking good. It’s honestly a real shame Apple cancelled it after two seasons because it’s easily one of their best shows. Ben Schwartz even has a musical number that I can only describe as “Love Yourself” by Eminem meets Hamilton 😅 Even though it was cancelled, it’s absolutely still worth watching.
