The Project Hail Mary trailer has dropped. It's perfect

USA Today30-06-2025
Fans will have to wait until March 20, 2026 to see the final product, but the first trailer for Project Hail Mary dropped on Monday on the TODAY show. Based on the book written by Andy Weir -- who also authored The Martian -- Project Hail Mary is a story of survival, humanity and friendship as middle school science teacher Ryland Grace goes on an adventure he never could have expected. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Into the Spider-Verse) are at the helm as directors for the project.
Ryan Gosling stars as Grace, who opens the trailer waking up from a coma and finding himself in outer space. Over the course of the trailer, we find out that Grace has to go on a mission in an attempt to find out why the sun (and all the stars in the solar system) are dying.
Check out the full trailer here:
It's just shy of three minutes of perfection, utilizing Harry Styles' song "Sign of the Times" as Eva (played by Anatomy of a Fall's Sandra Hüller) tries to convince Grace he's the only man for the job. The trailer also breaks down Project Hail Mary's relatively complicated plot well, explaining that if they can't complete this mission, the entire world will die.
Oh, and we get our first glimpse of Rocky, the alien Grace meets on his journey. All-in-all, lovers of the book should be excited based on what we've seen so far. "I'm several light years from my apartment," Gosling says to open the clip. "And I'm not an astronaut." March 2026 can't get here fast enough.

Jenna Bush Hager's Voice Breaks as She Describes Dropping Off Daughters at Texas Summer Camp

While news from Camp Mystic, the storied Texas sleepaway camp that has been devastated by last week's flood, continues to dominate the news, Jenna Bush Hager revealed that she dropped her daughters off at a similar Texas sleepaway camp over the weekend. "My kids got dropped off at camp yesterday, at another camp in Texas, and putting them on the bus, saying goodbye to them ..." Jenna said at the beginning of TODAY with Jenna & Friends on July 7, her voice halting with emotion at times. Last year was the first year that both of Jenna's daughters, Mila, 12, and Poppy, 9, attended sleep-away camp together. Their camp is the same one her mom attended as a child, and Jenna has called it 'a rite of passage.' But the experience hits differently this year. 'We think about the horror of sending our kids to a place that that is supposed to be — and is — healing and fun and joyful, and all the things that kids deserve to have, and then for something like this to happen,' Jenna said. "And I know so many parents whose kids are at camp or going to camp feel that way," she continued. "We send our kids into the world with the faith that they can have happy lives, joyful lives. And as adults, we know pain. We hope that our kids never face it." Jenna and husband Henry Hager are also parents to son Hal, who is 5. Cohost Dwyane Wade added, 'As parents, there are certain places that we send our kids, and we feel those are the places of safety for them — the school and camps — because we know the growth and evolution that happens at these these places, but tragedy also occurs.' "Texas is a resilient, incredible state," Jenna said. "You all know I'm a homesick Texan living in New York, and it always is in my heart. And we know that so many of you want to help, and are helping." Jenna has a special family connection to Camp Mystic. 'My mom was a counselor there, but also so many of my friends were raised at this camp,' Jenna said. 'Texas camps are institutions, as you just heard, where were many family members — generations — this camp was 100 years old, so grandmothers, mothers, kids have all gone there.'

B&B's Most Poisonous Plot Twist: Is Grace Behind Liam's Decline?

Buckle up, The Bold and the Beautiful fans, because this theory might just blow the roof off the hospital. On July 3rd, Grace sauntered into Finn's office to chat about Liam's worsening condition. His tumor is growing, his hope is crumbling, and there's one treatment that could keep him alive longer. But Liam isn't biting. Suspicious? Maybe. But hold on, because the real red flags started waving when Grace's phone wouldn't stop dinging. Now, to the casual observer, Grace's (Cassandra Creech) annoyed little phone moment could mean anything. But this is B&B — nothing is ever that innocent. Dr. Buckingham clearly didn't want Finn (Tanner Novlan) to know who was on the other end of that line. When she finally picked up, she hissed, 'I can't talk right now!' in a way that screamed guilt. So what's really going on? WATCH THIS: Did you know SoapHub has a podcast?! Check it out here! Here's the wild speculation: What if Grace isn't actually helping Liam (Scott Clifton)? What if she's hurting him? Could she be secretly poisoning him? Think about it: Liam's convinced he's dying, but what if there's no tumor at all? What if his symptoms are the result of Grace's medication? It's a sinister thought, but this is the same soap where people fake deaths, swap babies, and push others off cliffs. A doctor slipping something nasty into her patient's IV? Totally on brand. But why would Grace, the always-perfect professional, go rogue? Maybe she's being blackmailed. The phone calls could've been from someone holding something over her head. Maybe she's not as squeaky-clean as we thought. What if Grace has been secretly in league with one of Liam's enemies? Could this all be part of a larger plot to drive Liam mad, alienate him from his loved ones, and bring him to his knees? READ THIS: What would happen if Finn turned to the dark side? Let's not forget Liam's long list of enemies. Could this be Bill's (Don Diamont) twisted revenge for something we don't know about? Or maybe Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) is trying to eliminate his rival once and for all? Heck, even Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) could have her hand in this mess. And if so, Grace could be the perfect puppet for their evil plan. Whether Grace is the puppet or the puppet master, we can't shake the feeling that something is off. If Liam ever wakes up to the possibility that he's been played, we might just see a shocking showdown in the hospital halls. Until then, keep your eyes on Grace. The doctor might not be as bold and beautiful as she seems.
