A remake of ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS? Yawn.

That’s why I love Michael Crichton. Awesome adherence to scientific facts, with an interwoven narrative.

Maybe if he drives south far enough he will find some new inhabitants jumping the fence.

Marc Watney (played by Matt Damon in the upcoming film) as he struggles to stay alive on Mars..

Awwwwwww.... Now why did they have to go and do that? Now i'll be cheering for the planet to kill him.

Matt Damon? Could they have gotten a more liberal dirtbag?

Between Matt Damon being in it and Ridley Scott not changing his name to Alan Smithee on that POS movie Prometheus i will be waiting for this flick on the USA network in a few months instead of wasting $$$.

Didn’t we already have dueling “survival on Mars” movies a few years back, “Red Planet” and “Mission to Mars”?

At least Matt Damon is no Val Kilmer.

I’m assuming.

I’ve never seen them both in the same room.

Right now I am maintaining my optimism. I am CHEERING that this author, Andy Weir, made it from self-publishing to Grade A Movie. Of course, the number of hard SF titles to be successful in cinema can almost be counted on one’s fingers, but I’ll probably see it if the initial reviews are good. It looks like the movie should be around Thanksgiving this year.

Loved the book, but if Matt Damon was alone on Mars, he would be the third best actor on the planet.
