All hail Project Hail Mary, a rousingly wonderful, beautifully strange sci-fi epic with Ryan Gosling and an enchanting pile of rocks at its center. Ortiz was on set doing that puppetry himself, Kermit-style, which partially explains how authentic, real and sweet the relationship between Grace and Rocky is. Gosling and Ortiz had real interactions full of laughter (the movie is funny), with adlibbing that makes it into the film. It was digitally shot, but it looks like it was shot on real film. Project Hail Mary is the sort of event movie theaters really needed.
