The Adam Project Early Reactions Praise Ryan Reynolds' New Movie
The first reactions to Ryan Reynolds' new film The Adam Project are in, and are looking very promising. Coming hot off the success of his latest Netflix picture Red Notice, Reynolds is once again joining forces with director Shawn Levy, with whom the actor worked onFree Guy. Centring about the titular Adam (Reynolds), the film will play homage to 80s science fiction as Adam travels back in time to combine forces with his younger self.
With a cast including Zoe Saldanda, Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo and Catherine Keener, The Adam Project will combine Levy's experience of 80s homage from his time working on Stranger Things with the likeability and bankability of a star such as Reynolds. Originally based on a spec script written over a decade ago, the film was first acquired by Paramount pictures with Tom Cruise attached to star. Soon after, however, The Adam Project fell into development purgatory and was only revived in July 2020 when it was picked up by Netflix. With a new draft of the screenplay and a fleshed out cast list, the film began shooting in November 2020 in Vancouver and wrapped the following March.
