Drew Goddard Discovers Martians on Mars. Well, One Martian, Anyway.
17 May 2013 8:08 AM, PDT | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
Lost in space sucks. Especially if you’re an astronaut trapped on Mars with no help coming anytime soon. Why? Cause everything thinks you’re dead, probably. Bummer. That’s the plot of a new sci-fi drama that Drew Goddard (“The Cabin in the Woods”) has signed up to write and direct, based on the ebook by Andy Weir. “The Martian” follows an astronaut who becomes stranded on Mars and must figure out how to survive long enough to return to Earth. Not be confused with “Gravity”, in which Sandra Bullock gets lost in space. »

‘The Cabin in the Woods’ Director Drew Goddard is Switching to Sci-Fi
16 May 2013 5:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Due to his experience writing on beloved genre shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Lost, and the fact that his debut as a feature film director, The Cabin in the Woods, was completely awesome, geeks all over the world view Drew Goddard as the next great hope when it comes to their chances of getting more genre-based products that are actually smartly written and funny. Most horror movies and the like are honestly kind of vapid and cheesy, and are the sorts of things that get described as being guilty pleasures, but not Goddard’s work. He’s the sort of talent who makes one proud to be a fan of nerdy things. So for movie fans whose particular brand of escapist poison tends to come from the science fiction side of things, the news that he’s currently negotiating with Fox to write and direct a movie about a man stranded in space should »

Cabin in the Woods Director Drew Goddard Takes on The Martian
16 May 2013 12:52 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The Cabin in the Woods director Drew Goddard is in negotiations to write and direct The Martian adaptation for 20th Century Fox.
The project is based off a 2012 e-book by author Andy Weir, which centers on an astronaut who becomes stranded on Mars, and must find some way to make it back to Earth. The story is said to be a cross between Apollo 13 and Cast Away. Insiders also claim that the story is much different from Gravity, director Alfonso Cuarón's upcoming thriller starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space.
Simon Kinberg is producing through his Genre Films company, alongside Aditya Sood. No production schedule was given.
Drew Goddard also wrote the screenplay for Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse, which was put on indefinite hold back in January. His other writing credits include Cloverfield, and episodes of hit TV shows such as Lost, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, »

Drew Goddard Set Take ‘The Martian’ For Fox
16 May 2013 2:48 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Primarily known for his writing work on Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams’ TV projects Buffy, Angel, Alias and Lost, Drew Goddard scored major breakout success with found-footage creature feature, Cloverfield. The Matt Reeves-directed film got the writers name into the mainstream but Goddard’s directorial debut, the genre-splicing effort The Cabin In The Woods, certainly showed he has a knack for taking charge. Crafting a mind-bending thriller with healthy doses of clever sci-fi, intense horror and laugh-out-loud comedy.
Goddard looks to have landed his next project with 20th Century Fox hiring him to write and direct an adaptation of acclaimed best-selling e-book The Martian by author Andy Weir. The story centers on a stranded astronaut crashing on Mars who must work out a survival plan so he can return to Earth.
We’ll keep you posted as the project develops.

Drew Goddard Locates The Martian (on Mars, Funnily Enough)
15 May 2013 8:26 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Drew Goddard, still riding high off directing “The Cabin in the Woods” (which he co-wrote with Joss Whedon, who, let’s face it, generally gets most of the credit for that movie — fairly or not), is now in talks to write and direct the e-book “The Martian” for Fox. Written by Andy Weir, “The Martian” is said to follow “an astronaut who becomes stranded on Mars and must figure out how to survive long enough to return to Earth.” The book was written in first-person, which makes me think he survived. Right? The story is being described as a cross between “Apollo 13″ and “Castaway”, both films that, coincidentally, happen to star Tom Hanks. This one probably won’t be starring Tom Hanks, though if it did end up starring Hanks, well, that would just be funny, wouldn’t it? “The Martian” would be the second stranded-in-outer-space movie I’ve heard about this year, »

Cabin In The Woods Director Drew Goddard May Head To Space For The Martian
15 May 2013 6:59 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
If you paid any attention to Cinema Blend over the last year, you.d know that Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon.s The Cabin in the Woods was adored around these parts. As a result, seeing Goddard secure a second directing gig is very interesting news indeed. That it.s taking him to another planet entirely is pretty fricking amazing. The Wrap reports Goddard is in negotiations to write and direct an adaptation of author Andy Weir's The Martian for Fox and Genre Films. The novel was originally released as an e-book, but has since been bought out by Crown Publishing, a subsidiary of Random House, and will see a hardback release in 2014. A theatrical film based on the film could do quite a lot to improve sales. The titular Martian is a man stranded on Mars who needs to figure out how to survive on the planet long enough »
Drew Goddard May Direct The Martian
15 May 2013 6:32 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Drew Goddard, writer of Cloverfield and director of The Cabin In The Woods, is looking to helm The Martian. Based on the e-book by Andy Weir, the story revolves around an astronaut who finds himself stranded on Mars after his crew leaves him behind, and must survive on his own until he can find a way to return home. Goddard is looking to write the film as well as direct and currently, the project is set up at Fox with Simon Kinberg producing.
Described as a cross between Apollo 13 and Cast Away, the movie certainly sounds intriguing. I haven’t read the e-book that it’s based on but just from the brief plot description that we have, The Martian seems like it could make for a solid sci-fi thriller, especially under the talented Drew Goddard. It should also be noted that while the story sounds similar to Alfonso Cuaron’s upcoming Gravity, »

Cabin In The Woods Director Drew Goddard in Talks to Write and Direct The Martian for Fox
15 May 2013 5:15 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Coming off his directorial debut on last year’s brilliant horror film The Cabin in the Woods, it appears that Drew Goddard has settled on a follow-up directorial project. Goddard will write and direct The Martian for 20th Century Fox, which is based on the e-book by Andy Weir. The story centers on an astronaut who becomes stranded on Mars and must figure out how to survive long enough to return home. The premise is not dissimilar from Alfonso Cuaron’s long-in-the-works Gravity, which opens later this year, but Goddard showed tremendous promise as a filmmaker with Cabin so he’ll no doubt deliver something interesting with The Martian. Hit the jump for more. News of Goddard’s involvement with The Martian comes courtesy of The Wrap, which reports that Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class) will be producing the adaptation. Goddard told Steve in a video interview last summer that »

He deconstructed horror tropes with Joss Whedon for The Cabin In The Woods, and now it appears that writer / director Drew Goddard is set to tackle sci-fi for his next trick. He’s in negotiations to work on The Martian for 20th Century Fox.Goddard, who also wrote Cloverfield and did some work on Steven Spielberg’s delayed Robopocalypse, is gearing up to adapt Andy Weir’s story about an astronaut who becomes stranded on the Red Planet.In what’s being described as a hybrid of Apollo 13 and Cast Away, the space explorer must find a way to get back to Earth before his supplies run out. If the concept pings a familiar bell in your noggin, it’s because it sounds eerily like Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity, which strands Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in space (and recently debuted a trailer).

Damon Lindelof Talks ‘World War Z’ and ‘Star Wars’
13 May 2013 4:25 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
The Hollywood Reporter did a cover article on Damon Lindelof. In the piece they discuss everything from Lost to Star Trek Into Darkness to Star Wars.
With Trek and World War Z Lindelof has writing credits on two big $200 million plus summer tent pole films. We all know how Lindelof landed the Stid gig considering his buddy Jj Abrams is the producer/director, but what about Wwz?
As it turns out Wwz star Brad Pitt was a fan of Lindelof’s script for Prometheus and decided to reach out to him on Wwz.
So what did Lindelof think when Pitt called and asked him to fix the ending of Wwz?
“I think you’re supposed to act like that sort of thing just happens all the time,” says Lindelof of his first, nerve-racking meeting. ” ‘Hey, we’re all just filmmakers here, hanging out and drinking coffee and talking story.’ It »

5 Potential Cult Classics From The Past 5 Years
12 May 2013 2:33 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
To get crushed at the box office isn’t the end of the world for studios and directors, as it may seem. In the hipster era, people are always discovering new movies that may not have performed during their theatrical run, and with Facebook, Twitter and other social media, reaching cult-status can prove a last-ditch hope for studios.
Take “Beavis and Butt-Head” creator Mike Judge’s “Office Space.” The movie barely recouped its tiny production budget of $10 Million, and ended up being a writedown for Fox when you bring in marketing costs. But because of its heroic portrayal of white-collar American workers, “Office Space” received great word-of-mouth in its home video run, and has now sold over 2.6 million copies, compared to only 2.1 tickets sold in tickets.
Essentially, a “cult classic” as they are called, can be one of three things:
-Controversial (e.g. “Fritz the Cat”)
- So bad it’s funny: (e. »
