Gosling is not a grace... really hope they do great but knowing hollywood they're gonna turn grace into some hero that was always a hero vs what he was in the book a scared scientist that just loved knowledge.

Gosling personally wanted to make this movie cause he loves the story. I don't think he's too far off, and rather have someone who cares.

I really hope he keeps to the story, cause the martian was ok but they holywooded the shit out of it, and removed a lot of the stuff that made it a great book.

I thought the same thing but on my last run through the book. Grace describes himself as being super buff, like really buffed. So guess it tracks. But I do hope they stick to how he really was. I am more interested in the Stratt character will be portrayed?

Naa he says in the beginning he has muscle tone still, not buff at all. He's wondering why he has muscle when he first wakes up. The dude is a teacher and a self described coward. Plus spoilers at the end of the book I won't say here.

You can be jacked and still be a coward.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sure but the book doesn't say he is jacked, just that he has muscle still after waking up from the coma

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah I know about the end.
