'The Martian' trailer with Matt Damon's out, and here's what you can watch till it releases

One, take a character and make him go on an expedition, an adventure.

Two, separate him from his crew, and in a battered condition, leave stranded in a harsh environment.

Three, make that environment Mars.

This is the heart stopping premise of Ridley Scott’s latest, ‘The Martian’, based on the bestseller book by Andy Weir.

Matt Damon plays the stranded astronaut in this space science fiction which also stars Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Sebastian Stan, and Aksel Hennie, Sean Bean, Mackenzie Davis, Donald Glover, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Jeff Daniels.

The trailer looks tense and well acted out, but after Scott’s recent endeavours, we hope this one turns out as good as it looks.
