"The upcoming science fiction film Project Hail Mary is getting a LEGO set. This is fascinating because LEGO typically makes sets based on long-standing franchises like Star Wars and Harry Potter. Project Hail Mary doesn't even hit theaters until March 20. It's not an entirely new IP. The movie is based on a 2021 book written by Andy Weir, the same author behind The Martian. It's cool to see a LEGO set based on something more contemporary than its usual fare."
"The 830-piece set looks pretty nifty. It includes a replica of The Hail Mary spaceship in all of its glory, complete with minifigures of teacher-turned-astronaut Ryland Grace and his ultra-cute alien buddy that the whole world will likely fall in love with once the film hits. The set also comes with a functional display stand and a crank that moves the components around to simulate centrifugal gravity. The minifigures can even be arranged to recreate an iconic scene from the book and, likely, the movie."
An 830-piece LEGO set recreates the spacecraft from Project Hail Mary and includes minifigures of teacher-turned-astronaut Ryland Grace and his alien companion. The set features a functional display stand and a crank to simulate centrifugal gravity and allows minifigures to be arranged to recreate an iconic scene. Preorders are available now at $100, with sets shipping on March 1. The Project Hail Mary film premieres March 20 and adapts Andy Weir’s 2021 novel. The story follows a reluctant astronaut racing to solve why the sun is dying. The film stars Ryan Gosling and is directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
