The Martian (Movie Tie-In)
By Andy Weir
Paperback $15.00
In Andy Weir’s The Martian, protagonist Mark Watney’s mission to the Red Planet couldn’t go more awry, from getting stranded, to dust storms, to constant equipment breakdowns. Weir’s own mission couldn’t stand more in contrast: from self-published author, to New York Times bestseller, to seeing his book adapted for film by director Ridley Scott and actor Matt Damon, all in just a few short years.
At San Diego Comic-Con, we got a chance to talk with Andy about his Hollywood journey, and what it’s like to find out a book you thought no one would ever read is going to be seen on the screen by millions of people.
