Very curious.

Not having read "The Martian," and having watched the movie adaptation, I didn't have the book to compare to the movie. In the book, I imagine that the main character in "The Martian" engaged in a lot of thought and "self-talk."

I know that this is the case in the audio book version of "Project Hail Mary," and that Hollywood likes action, not watching a character engage in thinking or "self-talk." On the basis of that, the movie will have to forego a lot of that and action will be paramount.

So, we'll see. I am anxiously awaiting the movie.

I hope it does the book justice.
