Jake Robins from WeMartians Podcast has created a map of possible landing sites for SpaceX's first Red Dragon lander and NASA's Mars 2020 / ESA&Roscosmos's ExoMars rovers.
  • Red X = crashed/failed landings 
  • Green circle = successful landings 
  • Yellow ? mark = candidate sites for Mars2020/ExoMars 
  • Space "X" = candidate sites for Red Dragon

Images from Ghosts of Mars (2001) movie

Ghosts of Mars (2001) is a Mad Max's style violent sci-fi action movie set on partly terraformed Mars at the end of 22nd century. Its story is a complete nonsense where evil Martian ghosts take control of the minds of human colonists to violently destroy everything and everyone around. Nevertheless here are some images from the less absurd scenes in the movie :)

HD images from The Space Between Us (2017) movie

The Space Between Us (2017) is the latest movie set on Mars. It's not widely hyped but actually really good. The movie is about the first child born on Mars - a teenage boy secretly risen up by scientists after his mother died in child-birth. He travels to Earth to find his father and the girl he is secretly video-chatting to, but is too weak to stay there.

Here are some HD 720p quality images from the Martian part of the movie (click to view in full resolution):
