Ryan Gosling’s zombie movie also doesn’t have a director attached, so there are a few more pieces to the puzzle to fill in still. In the meantime, Gosling is set to start filming for the upcoming Project Hail Mary, which is adapted from the Andy Weir novel of the same name.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are attached to direct, and Drew Goddard adapted the script.
Project Hail Mary follows a schoolteacher-turned-astronaut who is sent on a mission to help save Earth, only to wake up in space alone, in a coma, and no memory of who he is or why he’s there.
While the film won’t be as comedic as Ryan Gosling’s upcoming zombie comedy, it is adapted from a novel by Andy Weir, whose previous novel, The Martian, was adapted into an Oscar-nominated film. The Martian had plenty of funny moments, so Gosling will still presumably get to work out his funny bone on Project Hail Mary.
