After free-guy (2021), the Canadian Ryan Reynolds reteams with director Shawn Levy on The Adam Projectan adventure and science fiction film that pays homage to the Spielberg of the 80s and in which the actor of dead pool shows off his best weapon, humor.
son of merchants, Reynolds is the youngest of four brothers and says he discovered the power of humor at a very young age. “My older brothers are quite imposing, it was clear that I was never going to be able to cope with my muscles, I needed my wits.”
“I think that humor emerged as a self-defense mechanism to get ahead in complicated situations,” he assured in a telematic interview with Eph on the occasion of premiere of the film, which arrives this Friday on Netflix.
the adam project tells the story of Adam Reeda time traveler from the year 2050 who ventures on a rescue mission to search for Laura (Zoé Saldana)the woman he loves, lost in space-time under mysterious circumstances.
But his ship breaks down and he lands in the year 2022, in his own house, where he finds himself when he was 12 years old.
Ryan Reynolds continues to suffer from anxiety, even as a child
“What attracted me to the project was that air of Spielberg movies from the ’80s, like ET, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future… all those movies meant a lot to me as a kid,” Reynolds said.
“And I think the reason they worked so well is that they didn’t distinguish between children and adults, I remember watching them with my father and we were both equally amazed.”
From the adam project emphasizes that it is a “very spectacular” film that seeks to entertain the public, but at the same time has a strong emotional axis that goes straight to the heart of the viewer.
“It talks about reconciling the memories you have of your parentsabout how they raised you and what they did right or wrong, with the truth and the truth is usually a little different from the stories we tell ourselves, “he says.
For Reynolds, who lost his father a few years ago, the project ended up being something very personal which made him reflect on his own shortcomings and in particular on something that little Adam says to the older one at one point in the plot.
“Of course, it is easier to get angry than to recognize your own sadness, you only have to look around you, in our society, everywhere it is evident, anger is a drug, but stopping in sadness and giving it free rein can be very liberating,” he says.

The idea is not only to directly support refugees but to encourage others to do so, which is why his proposal was to double every dollar that others donate to UNHCR until reaching that million euros.
“I can’t imagine what it must be like to move your whole family out of the house in just a few hours,” says Reynolds, who sees reminiscences of the past in what is happening but also hopeful signs.
“The European Union is operating together in solidarity and that is very interesting considering the number of different countries that make it up… I am not a socio-political expert, my specialty is making films, but I can say that we need hope and that even in traumatic experiences there can be hope.” (I)
