The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.īut Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.Īfter a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive-and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.Ĭhances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. Here's the description: Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. It opens November 25 and stars Matt Damon, Kate Mara, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Sebastian Stan, Sean Bean, Donald Glover, Mackenzie Davis, Michael Peña, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Jeff Daniels. The Martian, written by Drew Goddard and based on Andy Weir's book, is directed by Ridley Scott. It was posted on this Seattle website on March 5 but it wasn't until Weir posted it Thursday that we all took notice. Of note, this photo has actually been floating around for a few weeks. It's not particularly revealing, of course, but if you're a fan of The Martian – like me – it's exhilarating to see even a glimpse of the world realized. In the photo you see the practical Mars Rover, you see Damon wearing the name "Mark Watney" on his shirt and you see a bit of where Scott filmed The Martian, which recently wrapped production. Who can remember some of them Reactions: Clovis. Back in the days there were all sorts of fantasy movies about space. The movie the Martian didnt really cut it with me.

I thought a lot about reality and perceived reality after that. Thanks to author Andy Weir's Facebook, via Collider, for the heads up. He hits the edge of the set., That scene blew me away As I knew nothing of the movie until I watched it. The first photo was taken in Jordan, in the desert, on the set of The Martian. Damon made a Super Bowl bet with his assistant and since the Patriots won, the assistant has to wear a Patriots shirt all over the world. He then struggles to survive as Earth struggles to get him back. Matt Damon stars as Mark Watney, an astronaut mistakenly left alone on Mars. That film is Ridley Scott's The Martian, an adaptation of the Andy Weir novel. Now, another photo has surfaced via a Super Bowl bet that reveals our first look at one of 2015's most anticipated films. The most obvious examples are the touching photos of Marvel-men Chris Pratt and Chris Evans, in costume, visiting children's hospitals.

As a result of friendly bets made about the game, we've seen some very cool stuff. The New England Patriots winning the Super Bowl might have been painful for some football fans, but it's been a blessing for movie fans.
