Ryan Reynolds comes back from the future in the trailer for The Adam Project, a Netflix sci-fi thriller that reunites the star with Free Guy director Shaun Levy.
Reynolds plays some kind of space fighter pilot who gets a new co-pilot: his own younger self. Don't know about you, but I'm getting 1980s-style Back to the Future–ET–Flight of the Navigator vibes from this.
The film has Walker Scobell playing the role of a troubled kid called Adam who lives with his mother (Jennifer Garner) and misses his estranged father (Mark Ruffalo). He is visited by a man who has arrived in what looks like high-tech spacecraft.The man, played by Reynolds, turns out to be the kid’s future version. The two team together to find their father and save the world as well for there appears to be a Terminator-like plot device and the reason the older Adam’s return to the past is more than just having a tête-à-tête with his younger self.
They appear to be fighting what looks like this movie world’s version of Stormtroopers, armoured aliens or some such.
At first glance, The Adam Project looks like your standard sci-fi fare, but that was true for Reynolds and Levy’s Free Guy too, and the film turned out to have surprising depth and many heartfelt moments.
The Adam Project looks fun, overall. There is all the sci-fi and action goodness, and we can be sure there is plenty of Reynolds’ brand of self-deprecating comedy too.Jonathan Tropper, T.S. Nowlin, Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin have penned the script.
