“The Ridley Scott’s Science Force Force” witnessed the 2015 “The Martian”, the role of Dr. Mark Watteni, an astronaut in NASA and the plant world who ended up on Mars after the dirt storm force his crew to a quick evacuation procedure, leaving behind. Then “Mars” tells the story of an exciting survival of human creativity and perseveranceWith Watskins having to keep himself alive for four years before the rescue team was able to reach him.

Of course, a lot of the film is set on the Red Planet, but there were many other sites in “The Martian” that require the film’s buildings to use a set of realistic places and groups that were held on a large, impressive phase. Here are all the main photography sites for “The Martian”.

It is not easy to create a realistic photography of Mars. The dusty cold desert surface is full of broches, extinct volcanoes, and even, honesty or incredible, polar ice caps. Fortunately, the fourth planet of the sun is one of the few worlds to which we sent Rovers, so we have a good understanding of what the surface of Mars already appears, and it appears to be Ridley Scott Designed to make “Mars” a scientific accurate It is enough to get a realistic photography of the Red Planet. As the director once said Hollywood Observer“I wanted to get it correctly. The way Stanley (Cubic) got in” 2001 “.

The director had shot in Jordan while working on “Gi Jane” and immediately thought about it because of his movie to survive. He also explained to Thr, “There is a perfection of simplicity of the environment. There are no plants. They are brittle and wonderful. I knew it was the only place to do a strange planet.” Therefore, for “Mars”, Scott and his crew traveled to Wadi Rum (Wadi Al -Qamar), a protected area in southern Jordan near the border with Saudi Arabia. The barren land was packed with Gorges and Caverns perfect for the Scott project and was already immortalized by Hollywood several times, and in 1962 it appeared “Lawrence of Arabia”, the “Star War” privilege, and other multiple features. He was also one of The main photography sites for Dennis Velnov’s adaptation consisting of two parts.

In fact, the construction of the territorial habitat and the presence of Matt Damon in the arid circumstances of Wadi Rum would be a very far -long step in terms of realism of Reedley Scott. Vision “Mars” was shot quickly, BreakneckKnowing how to build groups in the Jordanian desert was not on cards. Therefore, Scott and the “Mars” crew turned into the Corda studios in the Hungarian village of Etik, outside Budapest. This impressive complex is home to the largest sound in the world – a large area larger than the football field used by the production team to re -create the surface of Mars at home. According to the production designer Arthur Max, the crew was forced to bring nearly a thousand metric tons of sand and soil, which lasted only three weeks for delivery. At this stage, the dirt storm sequence was practically filmed, using a large group of industrial fans.

“Mars” was filmed in several other stages in Kurda, too, with the deck of the Hermes Space Ship, which transported Dr. Mark Wattnni and his fellow astronauts to Mars, where it was built in one stage while the “HotHouse” area of ​​the cultivation of potatoes cultivated by Damon in the movie was built. In addition, the NASA mission control room was built on another stage while the Kurda Studios entrance, surrounded by wing -like sculptures, was used to photograph the entrance to the NASA attachment.

It is clear that Mars and NASA were the most important sites in “The Martian”, but there are still many other shots between Wadi Rum and Korda Studios Soundstages. For example, the Johnson Space Center was in fact a center for the Palna events, known as the Budapest whale, which sits on the bank of the Danube River. NASA’s real Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, was used to create footage, but the whale provided many interiors of photography, including Teddy Sanders (Jeff Daniels) offices and Annie Montrez (Cristin Wig), conference rooms, aviation monitoring room, and more.

Other shots included the construction of Müpa arts in Budapest, which were entering into the building that includes NASA’s equations after they agreed to help save Dr. Mark Watteni. The same building is located near the National Theater and Rákóczi Bridge in Budapest. Meanwhile, the absurd payment laboratory in Pasadina, near Los Angeles, presented the external satellite telecommunications center.

All this, along with Ridley Scott’s commitment to scientific accuracy, added to a very convincing movie, even if Damon died was not all concerned with science behind “Mars”.
