New Trailer // The Martian

[projekktor id=’19535′]

After playing a stranded astronaut in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, Matt Damon is heading back out to space in Ridley Scott’s sci-fi thriller The Martian, an adaptation of the bestselling novel by Andy Weir. Scott’s gathered quite the supporting cast to help rescue Damon’s character Mark Watney from the red planet, including Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Sean Bean, Sebastian Stan, Donald Glover, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.

During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring “the Martian” home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney’s safe return.

Hopefully Watney doesn’t have to try and dock with a space station in this one; it didn’t work out so well the last time Damon attempted that maneuver. The Martian hits theatres on October 2.
