“The sets need to be able to perform with him. And give him things to do. That has always been one of our mantras on the film.” Step inside the Hail Mary set where Ryan Gosling performed making this stunning sci-fi movie. Fellow geek Adam Savage has debuted a series of videos on his YT channel “Adam Savage’s Tested” recently featuring his visit to the set of Phil Lord & Chris Miller’s movie Project Hail Mary. With the release worldwide this month, they’re finally allowed to show us what it was like on set. So much of this movie was made by hand with as little green screen as possible. Adapted from Andy Weir’s acclaimed novel of the same name, this is the story of a teacher turned astronaut who tries to save Earth while alone in outer space. The movie stars Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, who wakes up on a spacecraft at Tau Ceti and has to figure out how to save our stars with the help of a new friend. This video features Adam Savage talking with production designer Charles Wood (aka “Charlie”) who then takes him on a tour of the production – from model to sound stage. Charlie explains how the Boeing 747-8 button design inspired the buttons on this set, along with everything else about how it works. This is awesome! I love seeing all this actual design work and how much goes into make a movie. Incredible. This movie totally rules. Don’t miss seeing it in theaters soon. // Continue Reading ›
