Hail Mary: Weir & Goddard Discuss the Ending & Future

[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Project Hail Mary.]

Much like the visionary directors behind Project Hail Mary, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, audiences have seen the powerful collaboration between author Andy Weir and screenwriter Drew Goddard on screen, even before critics began raving about Ryan Gosling's breathtaking space mission. In 2015, their first seven-time Academy Award-nominated alliance on The Martian showed audiences what could be done with a whip-smart script and the guts to put it to screen, and they're ready to recreate that magic again.

Project Hail Mary is topping the charts with Gosling starring as Ryland Grace, a middle school teacher on a mission to save worlds with his cohort, a rock being and engineer Grace affectionately dubs "Rocky" (James Ortiz). The movie also stars Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller, The Bear's Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub, and Ken Leung.​​

In this interview with Steve Weintraub, Weir and Goddard discuss their interest in a third team-up, how Gosling got involved with the project, and Weir's approach to writing epic science fiction. Goddard shares the biggest lessons learned while working on The Martian, the pair discuss why Project Hail Mary's on-screen ending had to have minor adjustments, and tease what's next for them.
