As we eagerly await an official trailer, a new viral video for Ridley Scott's latest sci-fi feature, The Martian, has now debuted online. The clip is titled "Ares 3: Farewell", and features star Matt Damon in character as astronaut (and botanist) 'Mark Watney', who introduces the world to his stellar cast of crewmates as they prepare to embark on their mission to Mars. The clip also features Damon's co-stars: Jessica Chastain, Michael Peña, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan & Aksel Hennie.
 

While it doesn't give much away, the video still highlights the chemistry between the film's main cast members. Could this be a return to form for Scott? The Martian focuses on astronaut Mark Watney's struggle to survive alone on the surface of Mars, after being presumed dead and abandoned during a manned mission. It will hit cinemas on 25 November 2015. Are you excited?

UPDATE: It appears we won't have to wait much longer for a trailer either. The 20th Century Fox Twitter account has just revealed that the first trailer will debut 2pm tomorrow. They have also added a handy infographic featuring all of the main cast. Check it out below!

Plot Twist: It's a Spinoff for Interstellar. Coop enters another dimension to find that Murph is actually an Astronaut and Dr. Mann has come back for revenge..

I'm ridiculously excited about this, just because of the cast alone. But if the movie itself has the same tone and sense of humor as this clip (based on what I've heard of the book, it will), this could be genuinely great!

American Pharoah wins the Triple Crown!
But some claim foul, saying it was the Asgardian god of mischief Loki in disguise!



Can't believe The National Register is the only one reporting this!

Interstellar is one of those films that, even if 11 minutes short of being 3 hours, you still wish it were longer. It's that great of a film that you just want to see more of it.

Unpopular opinion, but I'd love to see Matt Damon playing Hal Jordan.

Are you guys talking about those videos that show up? They just load on my page and never play...didn't know they'd actually be an inconvenience to other people. Do they actually play and slow down the page for some?

The only plus side is the possibility of seeing Matt Damon die again. That never gets old.

Interstellar was a theater experience I won't soon forget. If this movie is anything like that... I don't know what I'll do. Lol

Is this a prequel to Interstellar and F4ntastic?

Why do a lot of people instantly compare this to Interstellar? Or think its going to be exactly the same? or a Prequel even?
The two stories couldn't be any more different.
The only similarity is Matt Damon wearing a space suit.
And since that is what has been seen in photos thus far, peoples narrow minded, shortsightedness is in full effect as always.
