The first official images from Sir Ridley Scott’s The Martian have now been released, and they offer up a first look at Matt Damon as astronaut Mark Watney in the movie which is based on Andy Weir’s 2012 novel of the same name. The Martian will revolve around Watney when he’s left stranded on Mars after being injured and presumed dead by his team. With only limited resources and oxygen, he’s forced to find a way to survive.

“The last thing Mark’s thinking about is life on Mars,” Scott tells Entertainment Weekly. “He’s thinking about how to save his life on Mars. He finds he has a problem, and instead of him collapsing into terror—because he’s got 28 days to live – and that’s if everything goes well for him – he knuckles down and actually starts to work it out.” It sounds like a very intriguing premise, and a return for Scott to his beloved sci-fi roots.

The Martian also stars Jessica Chastain, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Donald Glover, Sean Bean, Mackenzie Davis, and Michael Pena. That’s one heck of an impressive cast!

We’ll get to see them all in action when The Martian reaches the big screen on November 25th, this year.
