Drew Goddard calls Ryan Gosling casting a 'dream'

Drew Goddard, screenwriter of Project Hail Mary got candid about the casting process.

The 51-year-old American director had no doubts about the fact that Ryan Gosling was going to join the cast.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Cloverfield pen marked It as a "dream."  

"Ryan Gosling was already attached when they came to me. Any fear I had about how we were going to pull this off was instantly allayed by the knowledge that Ryan was doing this with us."

He went on to praise the La La Land star, "He can do anything. Whatever I write, he's going to be able to pull off."

Directed by Andy Serkuk, the sci-fi movie is based on a 2012 novel of the same title by Andy Weir and centers on Ryland Grace (Gosling).

The Sci-fi/Adventure plot carries a former biologist, and a school teacher who wakes up inside a spaceship with amnesia.

Moreover, he admitted the tough circumstances of a big budget filmmaking, however, he justified the scope of the movie. 

"With this one, there was no cheap version of this movie, We're not making this unless we're big and swinging for the fences," Goddard explained.

He continued, "I don't want to sound fully optimistic. It is sad what's happening but we're going to go down swinging. And we're definitely going down swinging with this movie."

Project Hail Mary was released in New York on March 18 and is currently in theatres.
