In contrast, The Martian will see Damon playing an astronaut named Mark Watney who is left stranded on the surface of Mars after his crewmmates leave the planet during a rough storm. Mann wound up getting stranded on an ice planet, and after putting himself into stasis waiting for rescue, he was discovered by the mission led by McConaughey.
The funny thing is that, because I haven’t seen the movie yet and because the pictures available from the film aren’t particularly illustrative of Watney’s wristwatch wearing habits. Mann, a scientist who went into space looking for a livable planet before Matthew McConaughey's Joseph "Coop" Cooper and his crew did. Matt Damon plays the lead character whose name is Mark Watney, and apparently, he is going to wear a Hamilton watch in at least part of The Martian movie. Let’s do this!’ He was so infectious, I couldn’t really say no to him. I explained Interstellar to him, and he said ‘The movies are totally fucking different, this is going to be fucking fun. It might be weird if, after taking a year and a half off, I played another dude stranded on a planet. I went in and I said, I really love this script, but my only hesitation is I’ve just done Interstellar, in which I played a dude stranded on a planet. Expect some salty language (including 'f-k. Matt Damon stars as Mark Watney, a NASA astronaut accidentally left behind on Mars when his crew thinks he died during an emergency evacuation. I went in to meet him, then I signed on really quickly. Parents need to know that The Martian is a sci-fi space thriller based on Andy Weirs best-selling novel, a popular book among both adult and teen readers. However, his view on the whole thing changed when he met with Ridley Scott to talk about the movie, and the British director explained away his concerns. The Martian is just castaway in space: a NASA astronaut played by Matt Damon must use his wits to stay alive after a Mars mission goes wrong and hes accidentally abandoned. When astronauts blast off from the planet Mars, they leave behind Mark Watney (Matt Damon), presumed dead after a fierce storm. Resourceful genius Watney is easy to root for and, crucially, his monologuing to the audience is presented in some believable chunks of video blogging, which, considering he’s still on the clock for NASA, make a great deal of sense.Yahoo! UK recently had the chance to chat with the Bourne star about his upcoming film, and it was during their conversation that Damon actually revealed he was seeing the Martian/ Interstellar comparisons before he signed on to the project. He’d almost certainly eat potatoes grown in sachets of his own rehydrated excrement, and he’d absolutely construct mad contraptions designed to turn rocket fuel into water. I’m no scientist, but this is probably what would happen if Matt Damon really did get stuck on Mars. This is raw engineering geekery rooted firmly in existing technology, a survival drama that sidesteps sci-fi sorcery to feel believable, authentic and perilous.

(It’s worth noting the unfortunate timing of the real-world NASA’s report they’d found water flowing all over the place on Mars, rendering large chunks of the film moot).Īs Watney puts it, he’s going to “science the shit” out of the situation, MacGyvering up a series of homegrown and scientifically accurate solutions to an ever unfolding catalogue of problems. For our purposes, it is the perfect quote to begin. The quote above is the closing lines of Mark Watney, the central character in The Martian. They do this with a few very basic techniques that we can draw on for this article.
It is the story of men and women overcoming adversity and defying odds. Damon plays astronaut and botanist Mark Watney, knocked unconscious and presumed dead during a hasty evacuation of a storm-battered NASA outpost on Mars, only to wake up alive, healthy and doomed to starve to death a few hundred million miles from home, long before any rescue mission can swing by to pick him up.īut rather than resigning himself to the honour of becoming the planet’s first ever corpse, Watney bravely resolves to find some means to survive the inhospitable Martian wilderness using the scant resources at his disposal. The Martian is the story of problem solving.
