As early as 2014, we all had to see what it would look like if Matt Damon got stuck on a distant planet when the Starwear "Bourne" had Camoo in "Among Christopher Nolan's" among the ". Damon actually played the villain in that brief performance, but it turned out that it was just a way to reduce our appetite for more survival of Damon's space - as just a year later, we would again see him as captured in a foreign world, and this time he was a very good man.

Ridley Scott's learned-fiction thriller in 2015 Marcian saw Damon playing Dr. Mark Watni, an astronaut and NASA botanist who ends up captured on Mars after the dust of the storm forces his team to make a hasty evacuation. Then "Martov" tells an exciting story of the survival of human ingenuity and persistenceWatkins must be kept alive four years before a rescue team can reach him.

Much of the film is, of course, on the Red Planet, but there were many other locations in Marcian that required film creatives to use a combination of real -world bars and sets erected at an impressive great sound phase. Here are all the main shooting locations for Marsian.

It is not so easy to create a real representation on Mars. The cold, dusty desert surface is full of canyons, extinct volcanoes, and even, believe me or not, polar ice caps. Fortunately, the fourth planet of the Sun is one of the few worlds to which we have sent Rovers, so we have a pretty good understanding of what the surface of Mars looks like, and it seems that Ridley Scott was resolved to make Martov scientifically correct It is enough to get a realistic display on the red planet. As the director once said Hollywood reporter"I wanted to get it properly. The way Stanley (Kubrick) got it right in '2001." "

The filmmaker shot in Jordan as he worked at "GIhanein" and immediately thought about his survival thriller. As TR explained, "there is perfection for the simplicity of the environment. There is no vegetation. It is clear and wonderful. I knew it was one place to make a strange planet." So, for "Marsian", Scott and his team traveled to Wadi Rum (Valley of the Moon), a protected area of ​​the south of Jordan near the border with Saudi Arabia. Packed with gorges and caves, dry land was perfect for Scott's project and was already immortalized by Hollywood many times, appearing in 1962 "Lawrence of Arabia", the franchisee "War on Starwides" and many other features. Was also one of The main recording locations for Denis Vilnev's double "Dina" adaptation.

In fact, the construction of a surface habitat and to live Matt Damon in the dry conditions of the Wadi Rum should have been a step too far away from Ridley Scott's realism. Given that "Martov" was shot and with a breaking speedUnderstanding how to build sets in the Jordanian desert just weren't on the cards. So, the crew of Scott and Marsian turned to the Corde studio in the Hungarian village of Eteik, just outside Budapest. This impressive complex is home to the largest sound scene in the world - an expansive space larger than the football field that the production team used to recreate the surface of Mars indoors. According to production designer Arthur Max, the crew had to bring approximately a thousand metric tons of sand and color soil, which lasted three weeks just to deliver. Then at this stage the sequence of the dust storm was shot practically, using a hook of many industrial fans.

Marcian was filmed at several other stages of a corda, also with a flight on the Hermes spacecraft, which transports D -Mark Watni and his Mars astronauts, built on a phase, while a special "Hota" area was built to cultivate the potatoes. In addition, the NASA mission control room was built on another stage, while the entrance to the studio corda, covered by two wing -like sculptures, was actually used to display NASA's entrance.

Mars and NASA were clearly the most important locations in Marcian, but still needed a few other footage between Wadi Rum and Soundstages Korda Studios. For example, the Nsonson Space Center was, in fact, the Baln Center, otherwise known as "Budapest", sitting on the bank of the Danube River. NASA's NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas, was used to establish footage, but Keith provided more interiors for filming, including Teddy Sanders (EFFEF Daniels) and Annie Montros (Kristen Wiig), conference facilities.

Other footage was included in the Budapest Mopa Arts Center, which advocated the building that houses NASA's Chinese equivalents after they agreed to help rescue D -Mark Watni. The building itself is near the National Theater and the Rickapest Bridge in Budapest. Meanwhile, the Jet -Pasadena -based lab in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, provided exteriors for the Satellite Communications Center.

All this, combined with Ridley Scott's commitment to scientific accuracy, added to a pretty convincing film, even if Matt Damon was not so interested in the science behind Marcian.
