- 9 years ago
Matt Damon’s latest movie has premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
In ‘The Martian’, Damon plays an astronaut on a manned mission to Mars, who, after a fierce storm, is presumed dead and left behind by the rest of the crew.
It would take a rescue team from Earth four years to come and save him. So the astronaut, who happens to be a botanist, has to find ways to survive.
Hitting the red carpet in Toronto were Andy Weir, who wrote the novel on which the movie is based, the film’s director, science fiction legend Ridley Scott, and co-stars Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon. Talking about the movie, Damon said: “It’s about collaboration, and cooperation and really smart people doing really smart things.”
The film opened to mostly positive reviews in Toronto, with some critics hopeful it might even rekindle interest in the space program and inspire a new generation of astronauts.
‘The Martian’ is on global release this month.
