1 month agoProject Hail Mary is getting its own LEGO set

Project Hail Mary doesn't even hit theaters until March 20. It's not an entirely new IP. The movie is based on a 2021 book written by Andy Weir, the same author behind The Martian. It's cool to see a LEGO set based on something more contemporary than its usual fare.
