Project Hail Mary trailer looks like a winner for Andy Weir fans

“If we do nothing, everything on this planet will go extinct.”

Phil Lord and Christopher Miller co-direct Project Hail Mary, based on Andy Weir's 2021 novel.

We here at Ars were big fans of 2015's The Martian, adapted from Andy Weir's novel of the same name. So our interest was naturally piqued when he heard about a new film, Project Hail Mary, based on Weir's bestselling 2021 novel. Amazon MGM Studios just released the first trailer, and the movie looks great—very much in the vein of The Martian.

(Some spoilers below, but nothing that isn't in the trailer.)

The studio acquired the rights for Weir's novel before it was even published and brought on Drew Goddard to write the screenplay. (Goddard also wrote the adapted screenplay for The Martian, so it's an excellent choice.) They tapped Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The LEGO Movie) to direct and signed on Ryan Gosling to star.

Meta, TikTok can’t toss wrongful death suit from mom of “subway surfing” teen

Companies may be forced to show how they targeted videos to teen who died.

Section 230 has so far failed to shield Meta and TikTok owner ByteDance from a lawsuit raised by a mother who alleged that her son's wrongful death followed a flood of "subway surfing" videos platforms intentionally targeted to teens in New York.

In a decision Monday, New York State Supreme Court Judge Paul Goetz largely denied social media companies' motions to dismiss claims they argued should be barred under Section 230 and the First Amendment. Goetz said that the mother, Norma Nazario, had adequately alleged that subway surfing content "was purposefully fed" to her son Zackery "because of his age" and "not because of any user inputs that indicated he was interested in seeing such content."

Unlike other Section 230 cases in which platforms' algorithms were determined to be content-neutral, Goetz wrote that in this case, "it is plausible that the social media defendants’ role exceeded that of neutral assistance in promoting content and constituted active identification of users who would be most impacted by the content."

Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy

Sony victory in Cox piracy case could be overturned by Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that could determine whether Internet service providers must terminate users who are accused of copyright infringement.

In a list of orders released today, the court granted a petition filed by cable company Cox. The ISP, which was sued by Sony Music Entertainment, is trying to overturn a ruling that it is liable for copyright infringement because it failed to terminate users accused of piracy. Music companies want ISPs to disconnect users whose IP addresses are repeatedly connected to torrent downloads.

"We are pleased the US Supreme Court has decided to address these significant copyright issues that could jeopardize Internet access for all Americans and fundamentally change how Internet service providers manage their networks," Cox said today.
