First, there was the book.
And now, the movie, complete with a pretty awesome trailer:

Ooh. Ridley Scott is probably a decent choice to hope the film occupies approximately the same range on the Mohs Scale of Sci Fi Hardness as the book, too.

Matt Damon better be careful, though, or else he'll get typecast as the stranded astronaut.

The book was a great read, I agree Ridley Scott should be a good choice.

Someone said yesterday "What is this, the Interstellar prequel?" Haha.

but it seems like this time, he might be playing a character you could actually give a hoot about.

Hah, so true. When he showed up in Interstellar unexpectedly, my first thought was:

Spoiler:
"Gee, I wonder how long it will be before he turns on them?"

When you put it that way it sounds even more exciting.

Pretty much. But how are they going to film it? "Look, his forehead is wrinkling, he must be working out a really hard engineering problem! Let's see what happens."

Nah, he's going to talk to himself ... a lot.
