Huh, I must have totally missed this in the book, my imagination made him waist high. Ryan Gosling is good casting though, I think he will be perfect! I’m trying to resist watching the trailer, I don’t want the movie spoiled.

he's waist high in the book but a good proportion of his body is made of heavy metals , he has to withstand a pressure cooker environment and over double Earth's gravity, so he weighs 360 kg on Eridani

Yeah I’m definitely not watching it. I saw the first teaser trailer and I’m good with that.
