26-year-old Malaysian content creator, Mohamad Sofian is no stranger to crossing paths and collaborating with established Western actors such as John Cena and Will Smith in the past.
The Kelantan born special effects pro recently revealed that he has collaborated with Ryan Reynolds and Netflix for his Ryan’s new film titled ‘The Adam Project’.
Collaboration with Ryan Reynolds
In the short 54 second clip, Sofian can be seen entering a futuristic spaceship from The Adam Project which he unveils by activating a necklace via a hoverboard.
We then see that Ryan Reynolds is waiting for him inside. Once inside, Ryan address him by name and told him that he needed him on a mission on the Adam Project and that he needed to go back in time to find his 12-year-old self.
Sofian then ejects himself out of the spaceship through a pod with Ryan Reynolds telling viewers directly to join as well by watching The Adam Project on Netflix. It then cuts to reveal that their interaction was actually only through a Zoom video call!
In a vlog, Sofian showed viewers how the clip came to be. It showed how the scenes with Reynolds were filmed over Zoom whilst his own parts were filmed elsewhere with a green screen.
Sofian also revealed that there was actually only 16 seconds of footage which he could use of Ryan, hence he used CGI to make the scenes longer. In fact, Sofian also shared that around 80% of the whole video relied on CGI, which was why editing took over a month to do.
Ryan Reynolds praises his video
Following the release of the clip, Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter to praise Sofian for his work. In a tweet, Ryan said, “I think this sets an unfair standard for 4 minute junket interviews.”

Netizens want Ryan to bring Sofian to Hollywood
Sofian’s video has over 1.1 million views on Twitter alone. Plenty of netizens flooded Ryan’s post calling for him to get Sofian a job in Hollywood.
One user commented, “Hey Ryan, could you somehow bring him to Hollywood or at least in a Western production? He deserves more and currently Malaysia is unable to do more for him.”
“Reynolds, bring him to Hollywood. In Malaysia, the industry is a bit stupid that they don’t recognise talents like him. I hope you as a movie star can help him,” commented another user.
