WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW
DESCRIPTION:
Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell, Frost/Nixon,
Charlie's
Angels) is nearing the completion of his 3-year-long contract with
Lunar Industries, mining the Earth's primary source of energy on the dark
side of the moon. Alone with the base's vigilant computer Gerty (voiced
by Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, 1999 Best Actor, American Beauty)
as his sole companion, Bell's extended isolation has taken its toll. His
only link to the outside world comes via satellite messages from his wife
and young daughter. He longs to return home, but a terrible accident on
the lunar surface leads to a disturbing discovery that contributes to his
growing sense of paranoia and dislocation so many miles from home.
Moon is an engrossing, intelligent
sci-fi thriller that ranks with genre classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

FRIENDS
-
Moon is director Duncan Jones' first full length film.
He is also the son of singer/actor David Bowie.
-
This film was made on a budget of only 5 million dollars
and was shot in just 33 days. The film's special effects got a boost however
as the movie was shot during the writers strike and the filmmakers were
able to recruit some top effects talent for remarkably cheap prices.
-
This film was screened for actual NASA scientists in order
to get their reaction to the movie. One of the scientists asked why the
structure that was used as the moon base was so bulky and odd looking.
Director Duncan Jones stated that he wanted the structure to look like
it was constructed out of moon materials as he felt it would make more
sense to build a base out of stuff already there then hull the materials
from Earth. One of the shocked NASA employees went on to explain they were
working on "mooncrete" a concrete like substance made from materials found
on the surface of the moon for just such a reason.
