February 10, 2022

Netflix has finally revealed the official teaser trailer for Shawn Levy’s forthcoming sci-fi action-adventure film The Adam Project, which reunites Levy with lead star Ryan Reynolds following last year’s blockbuster hit Free Guy. It is scheduled to make its debut on Friday, March 11.

The Adam Project teaser, which you can check out below, features a 12-year-old kid who unexpectedly meets the older version of himself, who accidentally crash-landed into 2022. Now, they must teamed up together in order to save the future.

To say I had the time of my life making this film would be an understatement. And a misleading reference to Dirty Dancing. #TheAdamProject on @Netflix March 11th. pic.twitter.com/5Y0sLzX2Bp

Joining Reynolds are Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Mark Ruffalo (Spotlight, Avengers: Endgame) and Zoe Saldana (Guardians of the Galaxy) along with Jennifer Garner (13 Going 30, Alias), Catherine Keener (Being John Malkovich), and newcomer Walker Scobell.

“In The Adam Project film, Reynolds plays Adam Reed, a wounded time traveler from 2050 who has ventured into the past on a rogue rescue mission to search for Laura, the woman he loves, who got lost in the time-space continuum under mysterious circumstances,” reads the synopsis. “When Adam’s ship gets damaged, he’s sent spiraling back to 2022, and the only place he knows from this era of his life: home. That’s where a 12-year-old version of himself becomes Adam’s suspicious and reluctant ally as the older incarnation tries to heal, rebuild his ship, and continue his journey.

About a year before the time traveler’s arrival, Adam’s dad died, who was a scientist whose work posthumously helps open the door to leapfrogging through time. It’s still raw for the kid, who misses him deeply, but the older Adam has grown to resent his absent father over the decades.”

The Adam Project is directed by Shawn Levy Levy (Stranger Things) from a screenplay written by Jonathan Tropper and David Ellison. Reynolds and Levy are producing the action-adventure film through their respective production banners Maximum Effort and 21 Laps Entertainment. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger are producing for Skydance.
