MGM Ryan Gosling Andy Weir Sci-Fi Novel The Hail Mary 7 figure deal – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Just what we were waiting for, a hot film deal. Days after the town jumped all over the new novel by The Martian author Andy Weir, sources said that The Hail Mary is in exclusive negotiations to be acquired by MGM in a 7-figure deal. Gosling will produce with Ken Kao. It is the latest bold move for Michael De Luca since taking the reins of the movie side of the studio. I expect the deals to close quickly.

The book is described as a solitary tale of an astronaut on a space ship who is tasked with saving the planet. There are some very clever twists that I won’t give away here, but is consistent with the ingenuity that made The Martian a thrilling ride. Gosling is attached to play the astronaut.
 
I'm curious is part of this story, he figures out to save humanity and he cant remember how he is supposed to pull it off?
 
Really interesting premise and the cast and crew are exciting also. Will be keeping an eye on this one.
 
Finished the book recently, I liked it a lot. Hope the movie nails it.
 

The footage, soundtracked to Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times,” opened with Gosling as a teacher in a classroom of youngsters. He’s approached by Hüller’s character with a dire warning that the Earth is in danger — as is the rest of the galaxy. “I ride a bike to work,” he says in denying the proposition to get involved on the top secret mission. “I’m sure there are better people than me.”

She doesn’t take no for an answer as he’s seems to be forced in the back of a black SUV. The next sequence shows Gosling’s character at the mission’s home base where he again tries his best to pass on the opportunity as Hüller’s warnings become even more urgent. “The sun is not the only star dying,” she relays. “There is a pattern of infection.”

In order to save, well, every planet and everyone, the mission requires an astronaut to go to space to clear up the world ending scenario, “or everything on this extinct goes instinct,” she says, as it’s revealed that whomever goes on the mission may not survive, unless it’s a successful Hail Mary. It’s clear she’s asking for Grace to volunteer for the mission but again, he declines. “Who is going to sign up for that,” Gosling’s character says. “I’m not an astronaut.”

Gosling then delivers a series of lines that are sure to catch on: “I put the not in astronaut,” and “I can’t even moonwalk,” and “Some people are not good at things. You have the right stuff. I have the wrong stuff.”
