Twenty Films To Look Forward To In 2015
You're gonna spend a looot of time looking at screens this year.
The Martian
Director: Ridley Scott
Starring: Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Kristen Wiig, Donald Glover, Kate Mara
Released: November 26
Based on Andy Weir’s 2012 novel, this cements Hollywood’s current view of outer space: a terrifying place you definitely do not want to get marooned in. Matt Damon is astronaut Mark Watney, left for dead on Mars and forced to use all his technical knowledge to survive. The rest of the cast is, ahem, stellar – including Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Kristen Wiig, Donald Glover, Sean Bean and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Director Ridley Scott’s recent work does not inspire confidence, but the science behind Watney’s struggle – and the efforts to rescue him – should provide further fodder for pedants who were unsatisfied by Interstellar.
