I do hope they don't rewrite the book too much. The slow burn on how he finds things out and develops stuff over time is what makes it good. The Martian was a very faithful adaptation of the book (some stuff is removed but it's not too bad), so hopefully Andy Weir is able to enforce a similar sticking to the plot.
Oh God yes, I love this book. As someone who didn't like Weir's The Martian (please don't kill me), I loved Project Hail Mary so much more. It has such a fantastic feel!
hell yeah. didn't even know this was going to be a movie. excited to see how they'll portray Rocky.
this was also the first book i read in 7 years and it sparked my newfound love for reading after despising it all my life. shout out to the librarian who recommended me this book and my local library!
I feel like burned in subtitles would be ideal - especially if they do the bit where Grace performs the Fourier Transformation to determine how Rocky voices himself and sets up the foundation for their translation methodology.
I really hope they don't do what they did with Hanus in Spaceman (2024) and just have him speak English and say "skinny human" over and over again.
