Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the creative duo whose credits include Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The LEGO Movie, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, are directing the upcoming live-action sci-fi film, Project Hail Mary. Based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Andy Weir (The Martian), Amazon MGM Studios has released the trailer today.

The film stars Ryan Gosling as a science teacher who is tasked with going into space to prevent the destruction of Earth. There’s a lot of mystery involved, and if you haven’t read the book or want to be surprised by what Gosling encounters in space, I suggest you avoid the trailer.
