Phil Lord and Christopher Miller co-direct Project Hail Mary, based on Andy Weir's 2021 novel. We here at Ars were big fans of 2015's The Martian, adapted from Andy Weir's novel of the same name. So our interest was naturally piqued when he heard about a new film, Project Hail Mary, based on Weir's bestselling 2021 novel.

It’s been more than a decade since Apple unveiled the original version of CarPlay. In that time, the system has become indispensable for countless drivers all over the world. But while new iterations of iOS have introduced user interface tweaks and some additional customization features, its basic functionality hasn’t advanced much since that announcement back in March 2014.

The Project Hail Mary trailer looks like The Martian all over again (in a great way)

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-19 04:21:19

Andy Weir's sci-fi books are practically built to be turned into movies, especially in the hands of great writers and directors. That's what happened with The Martian, which was a delightfully nerdy self-published novel that was transformed into a thrilling film adaptation — thanks to Drew Goddard's script and Ridley Scott's bold direction. And I have a feeling the same will be true for the latest Weir adaptation, Project Hail Mary, judging from the first trailer released today. It's got everyt

New Smart Glasses Block Out All Real-Life Advertising

When you're online, a browser plugin can block all those annoying ads that pop up and clutter up your screen — but unfortunately we can't do that to ads in real life. Yet, at least. That could all change after an enterprising software engineer posted an experiment with a pair of smart augmented reality glasses.
