Los Angeles, March 22 (IANS) Hollywood star Ryan Gosling’s casting for ‘Project Hail Mary’ has been called “a dream” by the film’s writer.

The casting of Hollywood star Ryan Gosling for ‘Project Hail Mary’ has been called “a dream” by the film’s writer. Screenwriter Drew Goddard was confident when writing the script because he knew Ryan would be able to handle whatever he wrote and that he was “in good hands with our lead.”She told The Hollywood Reporter, “It was a dream. Ryan Gosling was already attached to me when he came to me. Any fear I had about how we were going to pull it off was immediately dispelled by the knowledge that Ryan was doing this with us”.“He can do anything. Whatever I write, he’ll be able to get it done. It showed that it was going to be really hard, but it also showed that we were in good hands with our lead,” he said.‘Project Hail Mary’ is based on the 2021 science fiction novel by American author Andy Weir, which tells the story of Ryland Grace, a school teacher and former biologist who wakes up in a spaceship suffering from amnesia.While film budgets are being cut across the board, Goddard stressed that ‘Project Hail Mary’ needs its mega budget and he hopes its success will provide hope for new projects across the board.He said, “A lot of my concern about budget has to do with the decision to do the project. Before I start writing, I want to make sure that what I think it will cost will be in line with what we think it will cost. I’ve learned from experience, if they feel comfortable, they’ll drive me crazy. So, something like Cabin in the Woods was pretty crazy. I knew we needed to make it cheaply. So I write it to be economical, because then They’ll let me eat bananas at the end. Also, there was no cheap version of this film”.“We’re not making it until we’re older and doing things we like. But it felt like the kind of movie you’re going to show your kids, you’re going to bring your grandparents to. That’s what you’re looking for to justify the budget. And when I’m writing it, I try to be thoughtful. But I never try to reduce the ambition. I have a very big imagination. Chris and Phil’s imagination is even bigger. Once we decide to say yes, we don’t really think about the budget. It’s more about what will make the best movie. I don’t want to sound completely optimistic. What is happening is sad but we are going down swinging. And we are definitely moving forward with this film”, he added.‘Project Hail Mary’ will be released in theaters on March 26.
