I’m obsessed with Project Hail Mary and couldn’t stop thinking of Grace’s shoes. Those bad boys are held together with hopes and dreams 😅 and apparently wires.

Rocky listening to Doctor Grace’s heart

Grace ends up in a place he likes at the end of the story, he's happy, he's safe, he loves the people around him, and it's an obviously better ending than he initially expected to get when he woke up on the Hail Mary, but that doesn't erase everything he lost

It doesn't change that he had a life stolen from him, that he was, in a very real way, murdered when Stratt put him on the Hail Mary

I cannot remember who said it, but they were on the money when they said Ryland died on earth and Grace was born on the Hail Mary

Hey! Who wants to play a game of the bean bag is lava! Lava! Lava! Lava!

"The fun thing for us for that end sequence was his costume -- what he would have left over from the ship. I don't really think you see it in the film but the trousers that he's wearing, they're cut from one of the flight suits. And we've done a belt buckle that's made of xenonite that Rocky would've made for him. And all of the sewing on it is a little bit - it's nowhere near as good as Jenny would normally do, so we had to purposely ask Jenny to do bad sewing at the top of his trousers, so it'd look like he would've done it.

And then our brilliant breakdown department, run by Tim Shanahan, they break everything down to look like it's 10, 20 years old. So his cardigan and the t-shirt's all faded. And even on the laces -- the laces in his chuck taylors -- because your laces always break after a certain period of time, so we found stuff that was on the ship, like elastics and stuff. There's a nice big close-up actually in the film, so you can see that they're not normal laces, they're like stuff that he would've got from the ship that he's made as make-shift laces."
