'The Martian' - Ridley Scott

'The Martian' director Ridley Scott provided a brief introduction before screening 49 minutes of his film. "Oh, one thing," he said before he walked off stage. "I do know that on Mars, helmets have to have visors. So don't tell me afterwards there are no visors in some of the shots. This film right now is a work-in-progress. … When it's finished, it will be absolutely perfect and meticulous and they will all have visors."
