First look at Damon in the astronaut suit

 

[jett]

To be fair, it could be real good without the presence of Damon Lindelolz.

Since Lindelof pretty much put Scott's orders on the page, I'm gonna say no. Ridley Scott is just toxic to me at the moment.

 

[Dead]

Scott sure is just churning these flicks out like a god damn factory isn't he

First look at Damon in the astronaut suit

PLEASE BE GOOD

 

[Nappuccino]

Since Lindelof pretty much put Scott's orders on the page, I'm gonna say no. Ridley Scott is just toxic to me at the moment.

Oddly enough, I'd argue that if Scott takes less interest in the work, the better it will be. As soon as he wants to put his own shit in the script, everything falls apart.

 

[Concept17]

Such a great book, I can't wait for this.

First look at Damon in the astronaut suit

 

[nhlducks35]

Isn't he making The Forever War too?

 

[mjc]

Looks good, I just started reading the book and it's pretty good so far. My only gripe is that the character spends too much time explaining exactly how he's doing things. (I.E. laying down dirt for planting, going into descriptions way too often) It just gets kind of boring. Hopefully it gets better.

 

[Oozer3993]

The book was fantastic so I am hyped up for this movie.

 

[papercan55]

Do we really want a Prometheus 2, though?

is this a joke? prometheus without Damon Lindelof sounds like a great idea

 

[joedan]

YES!

Seconded. Loved Prometheus.

 

[Jon Armdog]

Do we really want a Prometheus 2, though?

Yes. Some folks liked it.

Spoiler

Me.

 

[duckroll]

New news, new thread. Don't bump a 7 month old thread.

 

[Game4life]

What a nolan twist - Dr Mann is a martian.

 

[DieH@rd]

The book absolutely rocks.

Since book author was satisfied with the Goddard's script, I really think Scott and Damon combo will not disappoint.

 

[John Kowalski]

Why the long space helmet?

 

[triplestation]

Such a great book, I can't wait for this.

lol oceans 11 goes to space 2, brad pitt is next

Math: The Book: The Movie

 

[Akahige]

No way this movie turns out shit, the book already reads like a adrenaline pumping movie.

 

[Lebron]

No way this movie turns out shit, the book already reads like a adrenaline pumping movie.

Ridley will find a way

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

The book is pretty great. Excited to see this with such a high-profile cast.

 

[fallengorn]

At the very least, it'll be pretty looking.

 

[Toa TAK]

is this a joke? prometheus without Damon Lindelof sounds like a great idea

If Ridley is still on board, then yeah, I'm not looking forward to another stumble in semi-original sci-fi.

It's no joke. Ridley has been pumping out a constant stream of diarrhea for a long time now.

 

[Robot Pants]

lol oceans 11 goes to space 2, brad pitt is next

clooney went twice.
solaris bro

 

[Mexen]

Not bad.

 

[Johndoey]

The book was pretty good till the last third so hopefully they find a way to tighten that back-end up, seeing no matter what, I adore Damon.

 

[BertramCooper]

Hopefully it's a better role than the last astronaut he played.

 

[FreshCakes]

Hoping this is good, considering Scott's recent track record.

 

[Dan]

Isn't he making The Forever War too?

He's not involved anymore. New producers, with Channing Tatum starring and Jon Spaihts scripting. Warner Bros recently won a bidding war for it.

 

[Smithy C]

Yep, that's Matt Damon wearing a spacesuit alright.

 

[Nuke Soda]

Yes. Some folks liked it.

Me.

Weirdo.

Spoiler

I liked it too.

Say what you will about the movie storywise, with Scott directing it will look good at least.

 

[obin_gam]

Best modern science fiction book.
Hoping for at least a mediocre film.

 

[NMFried]

Guys Donald Glover is in this. Get hype. Well, sort of. He hasn't really proved his acting chops yet.

 

[Ashodin]

fuck yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need some Mark Watney quips up in here

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Damon was awesome in Gravity!


As for Scott I don't know anymore. I have doubts. Lots of doubts.

 

[Fusebox]

Fantastic book, but I'm worried that I'm a bit over Matt Damon lately.

 

[Kuros]

I guess the first question is how much late night wine filled rewrites Ridley has ordered to the script.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Book was dope. Looking forward to this.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Is he a pilot of the Rebel Alliance too?

 

[ShaneB]

Hated the book and thought it was terribly unfunny.

Hoping the movie is good since the concept is great.

 

[CaptainABAB]

It gets better. I felt the same way but it picks up.

 

[Acorn]

Fantastic book, but I'm worried that I'm a bit over Matt Damon lately.

Bourne will win you back.

 

[Fusebox]

I want you to be right.

Hated the book and thought it was terribly unfunny.

Dick.

 

[PreFire]

Props to Mat Damon for being in more sci fi movies

 

[Maddocks]

I almost expect him to say,"Do you see your children? It's okay. They're right there with you."

 

[Sojgat]

Astronaut Matt Damon, so hot right now.

 

[Ahasverus]

Interstellar prequel?

 

[Ratrat]

Could be interesting. Would have preferred a 'funny' actor though.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

ARES!!!

 

[TestMonkey]

The book was trash and I expect the movie to be no better. Bad science, superhuman Gary Stu, deus ex machina coming out of every plot hole. The Martian is basically an updated Armageddon with fewer characters.
