Goddard will write the film as well, which is set up at Fox, with Simon Kinberg producing. A few more details are below.
I’m pretty much fked.That’s my considered opinion.Fked.Six days into what should be the greatest two months of my life, and it’s turned into a nightmare. I don’t even know who’ll read this. I guess someone will find it eventually. Maybe 100 years from now. For the record… I didn’t die on Sol 6. Certainly the rest of the crew thought I did, and I can’t blame them. Maybe there’ll be a day of national mourning for me, and my Wikipedia page will say “Mark Watney is the only human being to have died on Mars.” And it’ll be right, probably. Cause I’ll surely die here. Just not on Sol 6 when everyone thinks I did. Let’s see…where do I begin?
Sounds like a great concept for a film, if fairly close in kinship to Gravity. The two projects aren’t even close to identical, however, and this one will be fun to watch come together, and hopefully just to watch, in the end. [The Wrap]
