...TIME.com: Have any of the initial discoveries been surprising? Kluger: The biggest surprise so far is the dark patch of dirt that was dragged by Spirit's airbags during landing. It resembles mud, but it can't be mud, because of the absence of water, and therein lies the mystery. Mars may have at one time held water, and one place it might be found is the Gusev Crater, an area about the size of Connecticut that was Spirit's landing spot.

Law dived right in, being buried alive and dragging himself through swamps, mud and snow. A former vegetarian, Law discovered he was 20 lbs. underweight and had to bulk up for the role. "I remember looking out the window of my hotel room in Brasov and seeing Jude running up and down the hotel car park with his personal trainer on his back," says Minghella. That trainer--the 200-lb.
