well the challenge is you know sci-fi mostly is fantasy what was really attractive this is the total reality of the situation I think a lot of people including myself really responded to the character in the book that and erode and well i think the the the humor and the and the way that I think us kind of mere mortals are always captivated by the way people can do this and seem to have some preternatural calm when they're in these incredibly high stress situations and and and that was what was really attractive about the character how he kept his sense of humor and uh and and then and keep this incredible logical kind of practical solve one problem at a time type of thinking and and and it's what these real guys can actually do it's amazing I'm sitting next to one of them so um and Andy for you talked a little bit about this before but you know i'm so curious what the this journey has been you know it has been rather quick even just since the original ebook was published that now that this has already happen to what is the journey been like for you oh it's been this just ridiculous like Cinderella Story I mean like you fantasize about these kinds of things when you're writing but you never really think they'll come true it's kind of like when you're a little kid playing baseball you're right someday I'm going to be a bottom of the ninth in the World Series but it's like this actually happened um and for dr. Greene and for true I'm kind of curious you know how you know sci-fi films like this you know kind of I don't know a reflector work at NASA and also you know the kind of bring it to life in a way and what do you think that that what do you think audiences can kind of take from that as well well you know science fiction is extremely important in our culture it's some ingrained in what we do but it really projects a vision of the future something that we aspire to what I really enjoyed about the book in the movie is how close to reality it can be it's just around the corner for it how eager and excited are you to inspire a future generation of scientists but this movie well it's funny you know Drew Goddard who adapted the screenplay when i SAT and talked with him it was the first thing he said he said this is a I want this to be a love letter to science and and I thought and we had a long conversation about that and how that's a really wonderful thing to put out into the world right now and and and yeah I hope I you know I I don't have you know any lofty expectations but I do hope that some some kids see it and get and and and geek out on the science and enjoy it and and and and maybe maybe it's one thing in many other things in their life that might push him in that direction in fact I was coming back from the cafeteria when our public affairs official came by running around looking for me and he comes up to me he says up can you take a call with Ridley Scott at two o'clock this afternoon and I said the Ridley Scott he said yeah I said sure so I just cleared my calendar I mean that's it's that easy tell that the studio's take my call I think that's all the time we have so thank you so much everybody
