Sean Bean has just been cast in Ridley Scott’s latest film, THE MARTIAN. He joins an already awesome cast which includes Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Jeff Daniels, Michael Pena, and Kristin Wiig. Based on an e-book by author Andy Weir, which was published in 2012 and then published in paperback this year, the film will follow the first man on Mars. Bean will play the NASA flight director.
Of course, all us Bean fans are wondering how the man of many deaths will meet his maker. Research shows that Bean’s film’s box office correlates directly with whether or not he dies, and the more gruesome his death, the higher the box office (*statistics yet to be verified by anybody of any importance). So how will Bean die in this latest offering from the PROMETHEUS and BLADE RUNNER director?
Well, it sounds as though Bean will remain on Earth, which means the idea of being ripped apart by an alien horde may not be on the cards. Perhaps a monitor will explode in his face? Or maybe he’ll suffer a heart attack. Personally I hope for a FINAL DESTINATION type sequence where the death becomes more and more elaborate, involving a water dispenser, a wild raccoon, and perhaps chewing gum.
Bean will be dying twice next year in JUPITER ASCENDING and PIXELS.
THE MARTIAN will be released on 27th November 2015.
