New Trailer Released For THE MARTIAN Starring Matt Damon

The new trailer is out this morning for The Martian, Ridley Scott’s new space drama starring Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Pena, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Donald Glover.

I’ve got to say, this feels exciting. So often, space movies are dour and sullen. Even in the perpetual danger that takes place in this story, there’s an optimism and sense of adventure that I’m really looked forward to seeing on the big screen.

During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney 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. Based on a best-selling novel.
