Ryan Gosling heads to space in first ‘Project Hail Mary' trailer

Express Tribune6 days ago
Ryan Gosling is suiting up for his most ambitious role yet in Project Hail Mary, a sci-fi adventure from Oscar-winning duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The first trailer for the Amazon MGM Studios film has just dropped, revealing Gosling as a mild-mannered teacher unexpectedly tasked with saving humanity from extinction.
Adapted from Andy Weir's bestselling novel, the author behind The Martian, the film follows Gosling's character as he wakes up alone on a spaceship, with no memory of how he got there. As his memories return, he realises he's Earth's last hope. Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall) co-stars as the brilliant mind who sends him on the interstellar mission.
Speaking at CinemaCon, Gosling described the film as 'insanely ambitious' adding, 'This is why we go to the movies. And I'm not just saying it because I'm in it. I'm also saying it because I'm a producer.' The screenplay comes from Drew Goddard, who previously adapted The Martian, another Weir bestseller, into a critically acclaimed hit.
Project Hail Mary reunites Gosling with space after First Man, where he portrayed astronaut Neil Armstrong. This time, the tone shifts toward dark comedy and wonder, with the trailer teasing both high-stakes drama and cosmic oddities.
Lord and Miller, known for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The Lego Movie, bring their signature mix of heart and humor to the adaptation. With a compelling premise and powerhouse creative team, Project Hail Mary is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases of 2025.

Scrapped 'Blade' helped dress 'Sinners'

Marvel Studios' long-delayed Blade reboot, once set to star Mahershala Ali, has officially been removed from Disney's 2025 release schedule. But while the troubled project remains in limbo, one piece of the film has quietly made its way to theatres — its costumes. Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E Carter, best known for her work on Black Panther, had already prepared a full wardrobe of period clothing for Blade before the production was scrapped. Much of that work ended up being repurposed for Ryan Coogler's latest film, Sinners. In an interview with ScreenCrush (via Variety), Sinners producer Sev Ohanian explained that Carter's extensive costume collection, originally intended for Blade, was purchased for use on Sinners after Marvel agreed to part with it at a reduced price. "Ruth Carter was working on the Blade movie that ended up not shooting," Ohanian said. "At one point, that movie was going to deal with, and she's talked about this before, but at one point, that film was going to deal with the past around the same era as Sinners. She happened to have a warehouse full of period-appropriate clothes, and it was like, 'Yo, we got to shoot this movie like tomorrow.' And Marvel was generous enough and kind enough to let us basically purchase it at price." While many background actors in Sinners wore costumes originally designed for Blade, Carter created new, original looks for the film's lead characters. Though Blade's future remains unclear, Coogler is expected to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe soon with Black Panther 3. Denzel Washington recently confirmed he will appear in the sequel, a collaboration Coogler has been eager to realise. "There's no fiction out there," Coogler said during an appearance on Carmelo Anthony's 7PM in Brooklyn podcast. "Denzel is family at this point ... I've been trying to work with him since day one. I think he's the greatest living actor, and in terms of what he means to our culture, forget about it. I've been talking to him about this to him for a long time."

Tiny Chef still out of the kitchen: Beloved puppet show not yet saved despite fan buzz

The Tiny Chef Show may be sunbathing in a swimsuit, but he's not back on television just yet. On July 4, the official Instagram account for the Emmy-winning puppet series addressed growing speculation that the show had been quietly renewed following its recent cancellation. 'Just to clarify!! Chef is still unemployed!!!' read the caption alongside a photo of Tiny Chef in sunglasses and a striped swimsuit. The team clarified that while Chef's online presence is still active thanks to fan support, the television show remains cancelled for now. This update comes after a wave of renewed interest in The Tiny Chef Show, following a heartfelt viral video where Chef receives the cancellation news via phone call and tearfully processes the disappointment. 'But we won an Emmy?' he pleads in the clip - a line that struck a chord with many viewers. Fans have flooded Chef's social media with supportive comments, applauding both the show's emotional honesty and its quirky humour. Some were relieved to see Chef 'on vacation,' noting his recent pizza-fuelled slump. 'I was concerned since he was eating tons of pizza,' one fan wrote. The show, which aired for two seasons on Nickelodeon and featured celebrity guests like Kristen Bell and Tony Hawk, has become a cult favourite among both children and adults. While Chef remains optimistic and open to 'movie extra and commercial work,' his team emphasized they're taking 'one step at a time' behind the scenes in hopes of bringing the beloved character back to the screen. For now, Tiny Chef continues to charm his 5.1 million Instagram followers.

Timothée Chalamet's Hollywood Walk of Fame star sparks mixed reactions among fans

It has been announced that Timothée Chalamet will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2026, joining the Class of 2026 that includes Emily Blunt, Demi Moore, Rachel McAdams, and Rami Malek. At 29, Chalamet will be one of the youngest recipients. Chalamet, who was born in New York City, began acting as a teenager and gained widespread recognition with his Oscar-nominated role in Call Me by Your Name in 2017. He has since starred in Lady Bird, Beautiful Boy, Little Women, and Denis Villeneuve's Dune series, and recently portrayed Bob Dylan in the 2025 biopic A Complete Unknown, earning his second Academy Award nomination. The announcement, made on July 2, 2025, sparked a variety of reactions on social media. Some fans expressed excitement, calling Chalamet 'the main movie star of this generation' and praising his filmography, including his work in the Dune franchise. Others questioned the timing of the honour, suggesting that it may be too early in his career for such recognition. Comments on social media included suggestions that Kylie Jenner, Chalamet's partner, may have had a role in securing the star, while others referenced Kris Jenner's influence with humour. Some users also highlighted that many established figures have yet to receive a star, questioning the selection process. Despite the discussions surrounding the announcement, Chalamet's selection adds to the list of recipients for the upcoming Hollywood Walk of Fame class and follows a series of roles he has taken across different films in recent years.
