So this is basically Castaway on Mars, right?

My understanding is that it's Castaway on mars, like you said, but with some technological and mechanical ingenuity thrown in. I don't know much about it (which I like), but I've seen people say that the story gets into how he survives, including ingenious shite he builds/makes to help himself out.

Or something like that.

Already saw Robinson Crusoe on Mars.

No need for this remake.

The other thing people that read the book talked about was Matt Damon's character's personality. I started reading the book the other night, and just through the first few chapters it was evident that his character was pretty funny. I wonder if that will carry over to the screen.

The book does seem interesting so far, and doesn't seem too long (I'm reading on my kindle, so not sure how many pages it is, but I seem to be moving pretty quickly)

So it's like Castaway on Mars with The Professor rather than Tom Hanks?
