Los Angeles: The first promo of actor Matt Damon's upcoming 3D film "The Martian", directed by Ridley Scott, has been released.

The film, based on Andy Weir's novel of the same name, will be Scott's fourth sci-fi movie after "Alien" (1979), "Blade Runner" (1982) and "Prometheus" (2012), reported Entertainment Weekly.
