Time travel takes a riveting new turn in "The Adam Project."
The sci-fi drama follows a pilot named Adam Reid as he reconnects with both his younger
self and his late father on a mind-bending journey to save the future.
The highly original film is packed with A-listers along with an incredible team of creative
minds behind the scenes.
So before "The Adam Project" arrives on Friday, March 11, here's a look at everything you
should know about this exciting science fiction film.
Leading the cast of "The Adam Project" is Ryan Reynolds, who stars as the time-hopping
pilot who ignites the adventure.
Reynolds is one of the biggest Hollywood names of our generation who's been lighting up the
screen with recent blockbusters like Free Guy and Red Notice.
Reynolds' fast-lipped wit has long made him a mainstay of entertainment.
"Ever since you stole William Strang's 'Lady with the Red Hat from the Tate back in 2014."
"You can't prove that was me.
I got that on Etsy."
﻿Of course, Reynolds isn't the only big name in "The Adam Project" -- Mark Ruffalo
stars as his father, Louis.
Ruffalo ﻿is one ﻿of the most important screen talents of our time.
Audiences will no doubt know him for his long-running role as Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Ruffalo has also turned in some indelible dramatic performances
in recent films like 2019's "Dark Waters."
Joining this duo on their travels through time is newcomer Walker Scobell, who delivers
a sensational and heartwarming performance as the younger version of Reynolds' character,
Adam.
"You're me. Holy sh-"
"That's classified, but yes.
I once was."
"The Adam Project" stars another MCU favorite - Zoe Saldaña, who's been a key part of so
many sci-fi favorites over the years.
In addition to bringing Gamora to the screen in "Guardians of the Galaxy," she's also known
for her roles in "Avatar" and the "Star Trek" films.
Audiences can also hear her vocals in the recent animated sensation "Vivo."
"You're going to the cookie sale, you're going to take selfies, and you're going to have
fun and bond.
Now put on the uniform.
It's really cute."
The film also stars Jennifer Garner as Adam's mother, Ellie.
Garner is a celebrated star of both the small and silver screen, with four Emmy nominations
under her belt for her breakthrough role in TV's "Alias."
"The Adam Project" marks a reunion between Garner and Ruffalo, after the two shared the
screen in the unforgettable 2004 romantic comedy "13 Going on 30."
Garner is also known for her compelling work in films like the uplifting family comedy
"Yes Day."
"Are we going to make it through this day?"
"They might be trying to kill us!"
Also keep an eye out for Catherine Keener, a silver-screen veteran who boasts two Oscar
nominations for her work in "Being John Malkovich" and "Capote."
She's also known for her work in pics like "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Into the Wild,"
and "Get Out."
And last but not least, "The Adam Project" features actor Alex Mallari Jr., who TV fans
may know for his work in series like "Ginny & Georgia" and "Workin' Moms," among other
shows.
The creative crew "The Adam Project" is directed by Shawn Levy,
who previously teamed with Reynolds on 2021's "Free Guy."
Levy is an accomplished director, with a filmography that includes comedy favorites such as "Just
Married" and "Date Night," along with original sci-fi and fantasy films like the "Night at
the Museum" series and "Real Steel."
Audiences may also know Levy for his celebrated work as a producer on films such as "Arrival"
and "Love and Monsters," as well as small screen sensations like "Stranger Things" and
"Shadow and Bone."
Levy directs the film from a script written by Jonathan Tropper, who previously wrote
"This Is Where I Leave You" — also directed by Shawn Levy — and the screenplay for the
drama "Kodachrome."
Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin, both of "Big Mouth" fame, also worked on the script.
With such an exceptional team of cast members and creatives collaborating on this film,
it's no wonder "The Adam Project" is already making a splash with critics.
Joey Magidson at Awards Radar called the film "a throwback to '80s sci-fi with emotion," while Mike Reyes at Cinemablend
described it as "a pure blockbuster with beautiful family drama."
It's also been invoking shining comparisons to some of Hollywood's most magical sci-fi adventures,
with Dish Nation's Andrew Freund praising it as "an instant classic like ET and Back to the Future."
Get ready for a refreshingly fun, family friendly sci-fi extravaganza when "The Adam Project'' hits Netflix on Friday, March 11.
