Project Hail Mary has been one of the biggest films of the year, and fans will soon be able to bring Grace and Rocky to the comfort of their own home. Amazon MGM Studios and Alliance Home Entertainment have announced that Project Hail Mary will be released on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on August 11.
The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray releases of Project Hail Mary will include 5 deleted scenes, commentary by Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and a featurette about Earth’s Favorite Eridian.
An Amazon exclusive 3-disc SteelBook giftset with additional features, including new bonus content, a collectible booklet, and more, will be released on October 13.
“Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how he got there,” reads the official synopsis. “As his memory slowly returns, he soon discovers he must solve the riddle behind a mysterious substance that’s causing the sun to die out. As details of the mission unravel, he calls on his scientific training and sheer ingenuity — but he may not have to do it alone.” The film stars Ryan Gosling, James Ortiz, Sandra Hüller, Lionel Boyce, Ken Leung, Milana Vayntrub, and more.
The hype machine has been running high on this one, but our own Chris Bumbray thinks it’s well deserved. “While it runs a hefty 156 minutes, the running time zips along, with Lord and Miller having a good handle on pace,” he wrote. “It’s really an impeccably made movie, with everyone involved doing superlative work, including Daniel Pemberton, who contributes a strong score. It’s the kind of movie that deserves to become the next Sinners, so hopefully audiences will give it a shot. It’s upbeat and leaves you walking out of the theater feeling optimistic — which I think all of us could use in these rather somber times.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.

Project Hail Mary has been doing great at the box office, currently sitting at over $573 million worldwide. Combined with the rave reviews, the studio has naturally been thinking… sequel. Andy Weir, who wrote the novel on which the film is based, has reportedly been kicking around some ideas for a continuation, but it remains to be seen whether it will actually happen.
