Based on the novel by Andy Weir, The Martian stars Matt Damon as an astronaut who’s stranded on Mars after a dust storm sends the rest of his crew bolting. As Mark struggles to survive, his crewmates and NASA hatch a plan to rescue him. Watch the first The Martian trailer after the jump.
Here’s the first The Martian trailer from Fox.
The basic premise brings Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity to mind, but as you can see from the trailer, The Martian is a different beast. For one thing, it’s got way more people running around.
Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Sebastian Stan, and Aksel Hennie make up the crew of the Hermes. Sean Bean, Mackenzie Davis, Donald Glover, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jeff Daniels play some of those helping the effort from Earth. Keep track of them all with this handy chart from producer Simon Kinberg:
