Ridley Scott's THE MARTIAN will follow astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) as he finds himself stranded on the surface of Mars with only a finite amount of supplies to sustain his own life and signal his crew for rescue. The viral videos shown thus far have given us a behind-the-scenes look at what the Ares crew has had to go through before their trip to the red planet, and now the latest video breaks down the science of the journey. So sit back and let the calming music and the voice of Neil deGrasse Tyson whisk you away into the stars…
While STAR WARS is arguably more fantasy than science-fiction, it looks like THE MARTIAN will be scratching the latter itch in a little over a month's time. The book proved to be a fantastic and satisfying read, and I think it's safe to say that everyone's on-board with this film. NASA and Neil deGrasse Tyson's involvement lends the story some serious authenticity, making it really hard not to get excited about space travel. Let's bring Mark Watney home!
THE MARTIAN opens on October 2, 2015.
