Project Hail Mary was a book before it was a movie—but barely. Author Andy Weir sold the film rights to the novel before it was even published. Even so, the book’s readers will notice plenty of departures in the new film. And plenty of ‘em will likely say, “Eh, the book was better.”
But is it?
Well, I’m not sure if we’ll get a definitive answer during this roundtable. But that won’t stop us from trying. In this video, I discuss Project Hail Mary with Bob Hoose (who reviewed the book) and Kennedy Unthank (who reviewed the movie). We also talk about the ticklish task of bringing beloved books to the big screen. And we offer our thoughts on the best movie adaptations—and perhaps some of the worst.
Oh, and we just may follow a controversial rabbit trail or two as well. You won’t want to miss that. So sit down in your favorite wingback chair, set a fire in the fireplace and pick up your nearest screen to check out our conversation. It’ll be a virtual page-turner.
