That will change with the upcoming "Voyagers." As announced by Variety on May 5, 2023, Andrew Garfield will star in the film as Sagan, with Daisy Edgar-Jones playing author/SETI scientist Ann Druyan, Sagan's third wife, to whom he was married to from 1981 until his death. The only mystery is why it's taken Hollywood so long to make a biopic of his life. Sagan was also a major advocate for marijuana use, and was rather spiritual, despite often speaking out against religion or the existence of an intelligent God. The film "Contact" is based on his novel. He was affable and well-spoken, and he talked about fun scientific concepts like the existence of UFOs, and the actual, mathematical odds that an alien civilization might someday visit Earth given the size of the universe, Sagan calculated that there are at least a million Earth-like civilizations out there somewhere.
