Get Stranded With Ridley Scott's The Martian
Leaving behind the philosophical debates of Interstellar and blasting headlong into astronaut-in-distress territory, Empire has a first look at Ridley Scott’s The Martian – Matt Damon’s post-Nolan return to outer space.
Based on Andy Weir’s self-published 2012 novel, The Martian sees astronaut called Mark Watney become part of a science team conducting experiments on the red planet. When a storm forces the team to evacuate, Watney is injured and presumed dead, then left behind to fend for himself. With little hope of rescue and limited resources, he uses the power of science to keep himself alive on the planet’s barren surface.
Directed by Ridley Scott, The Martian co-stars Jeff Daniels, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig and Chiwetel Ejiofor and is set for release on the 25th November 2015.
