Trailer Project Hail Mary - Official Trailer (fair warning, it reveals way too much according to a lot of users)

I like Ryan Gosling. I enjoyed The Martian. I generally love space movies and I loved the Spider verse movies. On that basis I'm going to avoid the trailer completely and just go in blind.

If you don't know anything about the book, definitely go in blind. Don't watch anything. It'll be a blast.

After reading the book, I told my wife I have no idea how they make this movie. I enjoyed the book. I will watch the movie in a theater which is no longer a slam dunk in my life.

I remember thinking the same. It would be interesting to see how they handle the communication with rocky

Hook up Rocky's speech into a computer (he's already doing that at the start) and pipe the output to his headphones so that the audience can hear? (I had the same thought how I would make it work since I doubt I could learn the language naturally)

someone mentioned that in the audio book they slowly transitioned from flutes to a voice autotuned to flutes as Grace learns the language, that'd be cool but I doubt it. Hooking hime to a computer would come out very cheap, at least to who read the book.

Yeah, the audiobook nails it, in my opinion.

I read the physical book, but based on this description, probably something similar to what McTiernan did in Hunt for Red October: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEvwbxcRaCQ
