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.
I enjoyed the movie, but I don't think it was that much of a gamble. The Martian set a pretty decent expectation for success.
The Martian came out in 2015.

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?
That reminds me, I gotta re-up.
I believe zero. 😂
