![]() "Artemis" tells the story of Jazz Bashara, a young woman whose family immigrated to the lunar colony of Artemis from Saudi Arabia when she was a little girl. The stories for both novels are on the cutting edge of sober science fiction - taking seemingly fantastical premises, like a man stranded on Mars or a small city on the moon, and grounding them by ensuring as much scientific plausibility as possible. " Artemis" was penned by Andy Weir, the same man who authored " The Martian," the 2011 novel which later became a critically acclaimed film, garnering seven Academy Award nominations, including a Best Actor nod for star Matt Damon, and is director Ridley Scott's highest-grossing film to date. Not since the days of Michael Crichton has a novel so clearly been waiting to be adapted to the big screen. ![]() It's not like I'm going out on a limb by saying that - Fox and New Regency have already acquired the movie rights to the novel (out Tuesday from Crown), and it was smart of them to do so. ![]() Hell yes, "Artemis" should be made into a movie. ![]()
