New York City got a cosmic upgrade on March 18th, as Project Hail Mary touched down at Lincoln Center.
The red carpet premiere transformed the iconic plaza into a cinematic launchpad, featuring a jaw-dropping holographic experience that quite literally transported guests beyond Manhattan.
Leading man Ryan Gosling surprised attendees with a futuristic performance featuring his intergalactic co-star Rocky—brought to life through a larger-than-life immersive hologram experience that felt straight out of deep space.
🌕 An Out Of This World Immersive Experience
⭐️ Who Was There For Takeoff?
The premiere turned out to be a huge night for celebrity sightings. As reported by Deadline, the carpet saw a mix of Hollywood A-listers, international stars, and science icons:
- The Core Crew: Ryan Gosling (Ryland Grace), Sandra Hüller (Eva Stratt), and Milana Vayntrub (Olesya Ilyukhina) led the arrivals.
- The Voices: James Ortiz, the creative force and voice behind the alien Rocky.
- The VIP Guests: Supermodel Heidi Klum made a splash, while the scientific community was represented by the legendary Neil deGrasse Tyson and tech communicator Cleo Abram.
☀️ The Mission: To Save the Sun
Based on the bestselling novel by Andy Weir, the film follows Ryland Grace (Gosling), a middle-school-teacher-turned-accidental-astronaut.
He wakes up on the Hail Mary spacecraft with a severe case of amnesia and two dead crewmates. As his memory slowly returns, he realizes the stakes: the sun is being consumed by an interstellar parasite, and he is Earth’s last hope.
🚀 How To Experience The Launch
The film is already no stranger to an immersive launchpad. For three nights this month, AMC Lincoln Square, Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn, Village East by Angelika, and Regal Union Square hosted immersive 70mm screenings of the sure-to-be-iconic space adventure, a format that makes space feel infinite, right from the comfort of your own theater seat.
But if you didn’t make it to those screenings, not to worry! Your journey awaits. Project Hail Mary hits theaters nationwide on Friday, March 20th.
