Ryan Reynolds is pretty much the face of Netflix and chill.

If Red Notice didn’t tick that box (it was the most-watched Netflix film in South Africa at one stage), then this next original will surely make it happen.

What can I say, the guy is just really loved.

The same director who made Reynolds that beefed-up character in Free Guy – described as being a Grand Theft Auto crossover with The Truman Show – is bringing us something new in The Adam Project.

In the world of The Adam Project, the past meets the future.

Here’s Polygon to decipher that:

Reynolds stars alongside Walker Scobell as Adam Reed, a 13-year old boy who is visited by a time-traveling futuristic fighter pilot version of himself on a mission to save all of existence from the threat of uninhibited time travel.

As counter-intuitive as that mission might sound on its face, future Adam’s goal seems to directly involve a confrontation with his late father (Mark Ruffalo), who passed away shortly before Adam’s visit to his past self.

Have a look at the trailer:

This sci-fi action coming-of-age drama will be on Netflix from March 11.

Thanks, Ryan – saving the future while coming to terms with the past looks like an absolute riot.
