I assume they called it Project Hail Mary because actually crafting a well written story out of a basically new/unknown IP is the actual last thing that anyone in Hollywood would contemplate as the basis of a movie.

11 years ago.
In 11 years… how many well known IPs were rebooted or continued or reimagined, as major movies?
How many times did Hollywood release another version of Skyrim?

I believe zero. 😂
