Looks great but now that I've watched that trailer I don't need to watch the movie.

Unless I somehow lost the ability to read, that's for a different book/film. Hence a new thread.

Also, I found the mention on that thread after I posted this one.

Sorry I spoke.
Yes different thread title, same author and Project Hail Mary slipped into The Martian thread on P15.

Project Hail Mary, the book was very very good, my favourite read of last year.
Thought The Martian book better then the film adaptation TBH but that's just me, sometimes the film or TV prog helps to portray a character in my mind (ie Ken Stott as Rebus), other times not.

I'm also really looking forward to this. As ever, the movie can never be as good as the book, but The Martian was still a good movie nonetheless. The movie misses the detail, like the sugar liquefaction that binned the resupply mission and the reasons behind the stitching fail on the air lock.

I hope they get the alien spot on in Hail Mary, and the ending when he resumes teaching.

So looking forward to this

I'm not watching the trailers as I want to just experience the film, I hope it does it justice!

[Monsterlime]

I loved this book, so am excited for the film.

[PinkTornado]

I'm a big 'The Martian' fan- I saw the film and then read the book- but I'd not read any other Andy Weir. This looks well worth a watch, though.

"Final trailer"

[Lefty]

It bugs me how much trailers give away these days

[48Valves]

I’m excited for this but also worried that they can’t possibly do the book justice in one movie.

[Speed Badger]

Absolutely loved the book, well - audiobook. I actually listened to it twice and I never do that. I'm really surprised they revealed the alien in the trailer, it worked well in previous trailers with just snippets to maintain the intrigue. Inevitably it won't be as good as the book, but hopefully it will be a very good adaptation.

This. Book was great. Film stands very little chance.

I've bought this as my book to read during my Lanzarote holiday later this month. I have heard nothing but good things about the book.

I hope they’ve dropped the split timeline that the book has - it’s daft jumping backwards and forwards all the time.
Just start at the beginning and tell the story.
