Director of space sci-fi thriller Ave Maria confirms Gosling as the lead actor

The space sci-fi thriller "Project Hail Mary" starring Ryan Gosling has recently confirmed its director. The film will be directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who have collaborated on "The Lego Movie" and "21 Jump Street".

It is reported that "Ave Maria" is adapted from Andy Weir's novel. The story style of the book is exactly the same as Andy Weir's previous work "The Martian", telling the story of a lonely astronaut in a spaceship, whose mission is to save the earth.

Previously, Andy Weir's novel "The Martian" was adapted into a movie and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture and multiple Oscar nominations. This is not Gosling's first time trying the role of an astronaut. In the movie "First Man", he played Armstrong.
