No, I'm not talking about the odds of Hive finally getting some attention again.
But today I'm excited, cause after many months since the trailer I finally get to go watch the Project Hail Mary movie in the cinemas.
It's been one of the few books I've read/listened to in the past few years and am looking forward to see how they did the movie adaptation.
Ryan Gosling = can't complain. The thing with wanting "new actors" that won't taint the movie with their past roles is that it's quite hit and miss, they need to be someone you can like or at least not dislike. I'm usually a fan of those more because they stick to the character, but some times that may not be great for their careers - cue Daniel Radcliffe/Elijah Wood. I think A knight of the seven kingdoms did it well recently by introducing a fresh new actor to the world but I guess it needs to be something substaintial to gamble on it, something with legs that can last for many seasons in a franchise, etc. So for a simple movie adaptation of a book it's understandable that they're going with someone familiar like Ryan.

I'm excited to see how fun they've made the alien in the movie.
I noticed it was 2.5h long so I'm kind of happy about that over the usual 1.5h movie lengths, I think time will go fast anyway.
Anyway, just a quick shitpost about my daily life I suppose, which you'll probably hear more about from now on than the usual views on hive/other things not related to myself as I usually don't have much to say about my unique yet kind of boring life.
Sharing this in the Hive book club community, maybe not completely relevant but maybe it won't hurt driving some more attention their way!
I'll forfeit part of the rewards of this post as I don't have much more to say, toodaloo.
Are u gonna watch it? Have you read it?
