Drew Goddart opened 3 mysteries about Martian

Without any stupid jokes, how can one write a screenplay where more than 80% is just silent views on Mars? Martian creators know the answer.

What is the Big Secret?

Goddart admits that even knowing how all that was created he is still surprised with Scott’s talent to make so realistic world. According to his words, sometimes while re-watching scenes he notices, for example, a bush or tree that hadn’t been painted yet and this is the only moment Drew remembers that this is actually not a real Mars planet.

How can it be possible?

The point is, Damon’s character is alone all the movie along for 95% of all sceneries. And Goddart says that it is the same analogy with his feelings while becoming a screenwriter. You need to feel how perspective and inspiring it is – to be all alone only with endless views around. Mars is like a desert but it becomes a living thing that is only one character needs to survive and simply not to become insane. Loneliness here is an opportunity for isolation.

Feel love to art of creation

The main secret from Goddart as a screenwriter is to like every scene and not to make them boring. He says that in Martian  every new part was a surprise and he even confirms that he has one favorite moment. He calls it Waterloo according to the music, which is playing all scene long – it is a song by Abba named Waterloo. Not to spoil any exact information we just ask you to pay attention to that one.
