And so starting from that proposition [author Weir] kind of let the science completely dictate the story," he said.
Damon also said that every same person would do what his role has done in the film if they were in his shoes. "And everything that Mark does is exactly what you would have to do, kind of step by step, if you were going to survive. So yeah we needed it to be heavily based and researched."
