Gosling is not a grace... really hope they do great but knowing hollywood they're gonna turn grace into some hero that was always a hero vs what he was in the book a scared scientist that just loved knowledge.

Ok that would be funny.

Yes! I had Jon Hamm in mind for the lead while I was reading it. But, Gosling surprised me as Ken in Barbie so maybe he’ll be great in this too.

That's a pretty ambitious book to turn into a movie. Hope they don't go too "Hollywood" on it, and respect the source material.
They already had to cut out a big chunk from the middle of The Martian (which then broke the I've got no radio, so no one can give me permission to board, so I'm now the first space pirate joke, which they decided to keep anyway), and Project Hail Mary is a much longer book - it's about as thick as Dune, which became two movies and still cut loads. Something major will have to change if they're going to give it an acceptable runtime.

This was a fun book. Solid narrator on the audiobook. (Ray Porter)

That would be a great mobile wallpaper without the text.

It's nowhere near as complicated as dune though. They can cut out a lot of the flashbacks.

- No it isn't, Hail Mary is 180 pages shorter than Dune
- Dune is way more dense than Hail Mary, Weir very clearly writes his books to become movies. Way more dialog, much simpler problems, and clearly defined acts translate much easier to the screen
- They'll obviously have to cut some parts, but having read/seen The Martian I don't think anything of major importance was lost

I feel like Any Weir's name should be on this poster. He's a bigger draw than Gosling in my book.

Ray Porter stan checking in.

The Martian was almost entirely internal monologue and they did a faithful job adapting it. It wasn’t as good as the book, but still great.
I can definitely see some difficult moments to adapt on the big screen, but I have faith

Sylvester Stallone has signed on to reprise his role as Rocky

Amaze!! Amaze!!
…I’m excited for this film, but so scared that it will be another enshitified movie of a great book with the story twisted and warped by producers and other interests.
Like Ready Player One turned out to be; utter garbage.
Ungh….
I actually like the movie. It made the best out of the book, which is meh at best.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Fucking love the audiobook. Listen to it so far four times. Plan on reading the novel this year (finally picked up a copy.)
My worry is they will fuck this up like they did the Martain. Great novel, and also solid audiobook, listening to it now for like the 20th time. But didn't care for that PG13 movie.Spoiler but the first sentence in the book got the word fuck in it. And Annie cursed up a storm in the book.
Edit: They better do Rocky I swear.

Same worried they will fuck it up. But just saw The Life of Chuck and they did a decent job of sticking with the story.

great book
Ready Player One
uh
Admittedly the book is waaaaay better than the movie. Neither are great though.

I thought the same thing but on my last run through the book. Grace describes himself as being super buff, like really buffed. So guess it tracks. But I do hope they stick to how he really was. I am more interested in the Stratt character will be portrayed?
