    I’m really looking forward to this movie. I went into the audiobook knowing nothing about the story and could not have enjoyed it more, I think it’s Andy Weir’s best work. But with Lord & Miller at the helm along with Ryan Gosling set to star? I can’t imagine a better line up working on this adaptation. It’s going to give The Martian (2015) one hell of a run for it’s money.

      Agreed 100%. I’m still hesitant just because Hollywood has a long history of ruining book adaptations. But given The Martian, I’m very hopeful.

      I would love to see his novel Artemis be adapted as well. Supposedly that is being worked on as well, but I haven’t heard anything new for a while on that front.

    Good share zero, and exact same sentiment. Oh my lawd who’s gonna voice rocky, though? I wonder if they will stay true to the somewhat less than heroic underpinnings of the main character.

    Either way, spiders in space never sounded so good. Yay! Now do Chasm City!

      Ryan Gosling seems to have no problem playing less than perfect characters. I feel like he’d be pushing for an accurate portrayal based on his previous films.

      I hope they don’t fuck up the way the story has its timeline with random flashbacks. Also they should totally use Ray Porter who read the audio book. That would be awesome.

    I say this every time I see the book mentioned, but this is the best audiobook I’ve ever listened to. The way the second character is voiced is brilliant.

        It’s so damn good, the Martian was done really well also but this one takes top spot for me.
