Get To Know The Crew Of THE MARTIAN In First Viral Video Starring Matt Damon

By Michelle McCue | June 7, 2015

Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) introduces the Ares 3 crew before their mission launch in this first video from 20th Century Fox’s THE MARTIAN, based on author Andy Weir’s gripping book.

The film opens in November and I’m already excited for this movie.

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. Based on a best-selling novel, and helmed by master director Ridley Scott, THE MARTIAN features a star studded cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Pena, Jeff Daniels, Sean Bean, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sebastian Stan, and Donald Glover.
