Ryan Reynolds Discusses His Personal Connection to The Adam Project
Ryan Reynolds had recently sat down withThe Hollywood Reporterto discuss the “magic” behind the film. “At the end of the day, it’s a very personal story, a story about something that I think every single person can relate to.” He added, “I’m grateful that Netflix has a commitment to making movies like this, original stories based on nothing more than an idea, and we get to bring them to life. Especially films with this tone that — and I say this in a good way — is a little bit old-fashioned with an ’80s wish-fulfillment, meaning something amazing or even supernatural happens to a kid, but he’s home by dinner, and his parents have no clue. It’s a type of old-school, warm and nostalgic filmmaking that I love.”

The film went on to help resurrect the COVID-19 pandemic box office for 20th Century Studios. The film earned a total of $331 million worldwide.
