Whether he does or doesn't, free will is an illusion. And life is a game that plays us.

I just cannot get excited over anything Ridley Scott does. There was a time, but it has passed.

I can hear Ridley now "It will be a gritty, realistic film about what happens to man in space ... Think Alien without an alien."

Jessica Chastain is in this too? Fucking hell. She really has a good career going these past what? 4 years?

Scott should collaborate on something with Cameron Crowe.

She wants to break Nic Cage's record for most movies in one year.

Nice way to promote it.

Solid cast. LOVE to see Michael Peña in anything.

Re: The Martian -- D: Ridley Scott S: Damon

That's a really neat way of doing a teaser. 3.5 minutes long, introduces all the characters and their basic personalities, and gives us the main plotline without showing any of the F/X.

Re: The Martian -- D: Ridley Scott S: Damon

Damn. That's a hell of a set up for a character situation. I really want to see this now.


I see they used some of that Fury Road trailer music, where is that from btw?

No, it's Ridley "I don't care if it's a shit script, I'll make it look phenomenal" Scott.

This one was written by Drew Goddard, another of the Lost crew but very notably NOT Damon Lindelof. He's credited with Cloverfield, Cabin in the Woods, and World War Z but I think he did the re-re-re-rewrite of what they already had. But then Spielberg also shit all over his Robopocalypse script.

Re: The Martian -- D: Ridley Scott; S: Damon

That trailer looks good. I LOVED the book, one of my favorites of the last ten years, so I really hope they don't screw this up.

Also, I want to turn "science the shit out of this" into a catchphrase now.

Re: The Martian -- D: Ridley Scott; S: Damon

Now THAT is a great trailer

It looks like a pretty faithful adaptation (the book was written rather cinematically, which helps). I would have preferred less plot exposition in the trailer, but they didn't go full Zemeckis either.

"I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this"

Looks great - and a killer cast to boot.

Looking forward to it.

I still have faith in Ridley Scott. He's made some clunkers recently but I think he still has a great movie or two in him.

To that scripts credit, Goddard seems to go dark, Spielberg needs family and warmth at the end of most of his screenplays.

Re: The Martian -- D: Ridley Scott; S: Damon

Talking Spielberg and warmth. That ending to War of the Worlds. I was w/ that movie all the way to the end till that annoying piece of shit came back from what was undoubtedly impossible to survive but everyone takes it in and it's ok?
