With glowing reviews already pouring in, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller\u2019s adaptation of Andy Weir\u2019s Project Hail Mary looks poised to be a major hit when it arrives next week. But the filmmaking duo have been circling another of Weir\u2019s novels for nearly a decade, and the film\u2019s success could finally give that long-dormant project the push it needs. Lord and Miller were first announced<\/a> as the directors of Artemis back in 2017, but the adaptation has seen little movement since. Now, with Project Hail Mary generating buzz, that may finally be about to change.<\/p>\n

Lord and Miller on Artemis<\/p>\n

While speaking with THR<\/a>, Lord and Miller were asked whether Artemis was still in play. \u201cThere is an Artemis script, it\u2019s delightful,\u201d Miller said. \u201cThe thing that was holding that back for years was, how do we execute one-sixth gravity? The story takes place on the moon. We think we\u2019ve figured it out. That\u2019s one of the ones that\u2019s possible.\u201c<\/p>\n

Artemis tells the story of Jasmine Bashara, aka Jazz, a directionless twenty-something dreaming of a better life beyond the small town she lives in, except in this case, that small town is Artemis, the first and only city on the moon. With debts to pay and barely enough money to cover her rent, Jazz takes the chance on a life-changing score, which thrusts her straight into the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself.<\/p>\n

The last we heard, the script was being written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Fallout).<\/p>\n

Project Hail Mary<\/p>\n

As for Project Hail Mary, the film stars Ryan Gosling as a science teacher who wakes up on a spaceship light-years away from home with no idea how he got there. Slowly, he begins to realize he\u2019s been sent on an Earth-saving mission from which he will never be able to return, but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone. The film will hit theaters on March 20.<\/p>\n

The hype machine has been running high on this one, but our own Chris Bumbray thinks it\u2019s well deserved. \u201cWhile it runs a hefty 156 minutes, the running time zips along, with Lord and Miller having a good handle on pace,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s really an impeccably made movie, with everyone involved doing superlative work, including Daniel Pemberton, who contributes a strong score. It\u2019s the kind of movie that deserves to become the next Sinners, so hopefully audiences will give it a shot. It\u2019s upbeat and leaves you walking out of the theater feeling optimistic \u2014 which I think all of us could use in these rather somber times.\u201d You can check out the rest of his review right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
