Project Hail Mary – Official Trailer: Ryan Gosling Leads Sci-Fi Epic Coming to NZ Cinemas

Attention Kiwi sci-fi fans — the countdown begins. The official trailer for Project Hail Mary has landed, and it’s shaping up to be one of 2026’s biggest cinematic events. Starring Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a lone astronaut who wakes up on a spacecraft with no memory and an impossible mission, the film is based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir, author of The Martian.

As Earth teeters on the brink of extinction, Grace must solve a cosmic mystery and forge an unlikely alliance — with an alien. Directed by dynamic duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Verse, The LEGO Movie) and written by The Martian screenwriter Drew Goddard, this adaptation promises heart, humour, and high-stakes science.

For audiences in Aotearoa, Project Hail Mary offers more than just space spectacle — it’s a story of resilience, intellect, and teamwork under pressure, all values that resonate with the Kiwi spirit. Whether you’re a STEM student, a sci-fi nerd, or just love an edge-of-your-seat story with emotional depth, this is a film built for both your brain and your heart.

Slated for release in New Zealand cinemas on 20 March 2026, this film is best experienced on the big screen — IMAX, if you can. Get ready for one of the most thrilling space odysseys of the decade.
