Ridley Scott to Produce New Film From 'The Martian' Author Andy Weir

Scott will produce via his Scott Free banner, with Kinberg also on board to produce via Genre Films.

The Martian was easily one of Ridley Scott’s better films in recent years, thanks in part to Andy Weir’s solid source material.

It seems as though Scott has grown quite fond of the author, as the pair are reuniting for another film project based on a new, original pitch from Weir.
