The critically-acclaimed producer wanted to work on another Andy Weir adaptation.
Andy Weir's critically-acclaimed catalog is making its way back to the big screen. The science fiction author first saw his work go Hollywood in 2015, as director Ridley Scott paired with Matt Damon to bring about a live-action adaptation of The Martian. This project went on to be one of the most commercially and critically successful films of its release year and won enough awards to warrant its own separate Wikipedia page.
Priorities seem to have shifted towards developing a Project Hail Mary movie instead, as this past May it was announced that Lord and Miller's next live-action venture would be taking on that space-based story. Ryan Gosling is attached to star as Project Hail Mary's lead character Ryland Grace. While Lord and Miller seemingly pivoted from Artemis to Project Hail Mary, they are doing so without Kinberg.
"I love that book and candidly went after that book, but another producer got it," Kinberg told ComicBook.com when asked about his potential involvement in Project Hail Mary."I know Chris and Phil who are incredible filmmakers and are great dudes. I know them personally. They're hopefully going to direct that movie and I'm sure it'll be incredible."
