Sam Rockwell is on the Moon

Bloody Disgusting got their hand on a very impressive batch of photos from the film, Moon. Astronaut Sam Bell (Rockwell) has been mining Helium 3 on the moon three years alone. Just two weeks shy of his departure from the lunar base Selene, Sam starts seeing and hearing things and feeling strange. When a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, he discovers that his employer has their own plans for replacing him and the new recruit is eerily familiar.


Moon is being directing by Duncan Jones, also known as Zowie Bowie, the son of David Bowie. Jones is a former ad exec turned filmmaker with only one film under his belt, a sci-fi short from 2000 called Whistle. It also features Kevin Spacey as the voice of a robot.

What do you make of the photos? They look very nice indeed and it could well be a cult classic in the making. Sam Rockwell is a solid actor (Confessions of A Dangerous Mind is a brilliant movie). What do you reckon will happen in the film going by the little synopsis above. Have a guess in the comments then when the film comes out we can see who was the closest!

Looks awesome! Thanks for the tip.

I think they cloned him, which he figures out, but then eventually it turns out he's a clone, too!

Could well be Steve - It will be like the Spider-Man clone saga done in a sci-fi style and actually good. Anyone got any other theories?

Ahhh..6th day crossed with Solaris! Weird!

Funnily enough I did get a Solaris vibe when putting up the original post (I mean it reminded me of that film, the recent version, not that I was sat in a space station surrounded by copies of dead relatives. That would be silly. That only ever happens on a weekend!)

Moon also seems to remind me a bit of that old Kirk Douglas sci-fi film, Saturn 3, with the psychotic robot and Harvey Keitel and Farrah Fawcett with a hint of Silent Running thrown in for good measure
