Hot on the heels of the viral featurette we showed earlier today, we now have our first look at Ridley Scott's sci-fi epic, The Martian.

Based on the bestselling novel from Andy Weir, it follows a NASA astronaut (Matt Damon) who is stranded on Mars following a manned mission to the red planet that goes awry.

When his crew - and NASA itself - learns of his fate, having publicly told the world that he's dead - a rescue mission is mounted.

Written by Daredevil's Drew Goddard and written by Sir Ridley Scott, we're really REALLY liking the look of this.

Not only does it reteam Interstellar's Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon, it also features a pretty damn impressive supporting cast of Jeff Daniels, Kirsten Wiig, Donald Glover, Sean Bean, Kata Mara, Sebastian Stan, Chiwitel Ejiofor and Askel Hennie.

The Martian's scheduled for Irish release on November 25th of this year. Get excited.
