LEGO has announced a new set inspired by the upcoming science fiction movie Project Hail Mary, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on March 20. The 830-piece set features a detailed model of the Hail Mary spaceship, along with minifigures of the main character Ryland Grace and his alien companion. The set includes a display stand and a crank mechanism that simulates centrifugal gravity.
The film, starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, is adapted from Andy Weir’s 2021 novel. The story follows an astronaut on a mission to save the sun from dying. The LEGO set is available for preorder at $100 and will ship on March 1, ahead of the movie’s release.
**Why this matters**
This LEGO set is notable because it is based on a recent book and film, rather than an established franchise like Star Wars or Harry Potter. It reflects LEGO’s expanding interest in contemporary science fiction and offers fans a new way to engage with the story before the film’s premiere.
