- Hi all, Duncan sent us a mission over the BowieNet wires:
"I'm finally directing my first feature film, a grown up piece of science fiction starring the incredibly lovely and talented Sam Rockwell. I would very much like to use your tentacle-like reach to get this bit of news out to the world at large.
We have just finished the first week of production in London and the film is already looking pretty damn special. Think "some sci-fi classic from the 70s that somehow was over-looked and has only now been unearthed."
I'll try and stop by every week or two and give you another tidbit, if you like, but in return, if you could get the rumor-mill going, through the Internets, the IMMDBs, the Aint-It-Cools, the gossip sites and to your mates in general... to any place you think would help get tongues wagging, I would be most appreciative! More than that... I would love you long time. Hope you're all well!
Yours, covered in film stock and very 70’s beard, Duncan Jones."

In Moon, Sam Bell is a contract miner who's been sent to the moon Selene for 3 years to harvest an important gas that will end Earth's energy problems. Bell is a troubled man with a short temper, but the last 3 years have taught him how to control his emotions. At the end of his time Bell is excited to return home and see his wife and daughter. But towards towards the end of his stay he starts seeing and hearing things. Bell discovers that the company he's working for, Lunar, plans on replacing him in its own fashion, and it sounds like cloning or time travel is afoot.0 Comments 503 days

More stuff...
Yoinked C&P-ly from http://www.cinematical.com/tag/dunca...
When I first heard about the sci-fi flick, Moon, starring Sam Rockwell, I thought: Oh great, it's Castaway in space. But, now that I actually have an idea of what the film is about, my fears that it would be Rockwell talking to a futuristic volleyball for two hours are gone. Quiet Earth (a site dedicated to all things post-apocalyptic) has a first look at the poster and a still from Duncan Jones' (aka Zowie Bowie), futuristic thriller. It's a simple one-sheet, and I did like it at first. Unfortunately, some of the thrill has been lost since the sharp eyes over at io9 noticed some striking similarities to another sci-fi poster.
Rockwell stars as Sam Bell, a contractor with a mining corporation called LUNAR. After three years spent in isolation mining helium, Bell has been dreaming of his family and waiting for his contract to end. When he begins to hear and see things that make him uneasy, he begins to investigate the nature of his 'replacement' on the station. Jones wrote the original story, but got a little help from a first time screenwriter named Nathan Parker on the screenplay. Quiet Earth also posted a full synopsis for the film back in March, but the story is a bit of a mind-twister, so if you're worried about spoilers, you should probably steer clear.
Moon has not secured a distribution deal yet, but hopefully the buzz surrounding Rockwell's performance in Choke will help this production gain a little steam.
Moon is expected to arrive in theaters on May 25th, 2009.0 Comments 503 days

New news on the Moon front

The DavidBowie.com news page has updated us on the film's progress.
Clint Mansell, who provided the scores to Requiem for a Dream and Pi,
has been confirmed as the composer for that of the movie called MOON.
Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group has aquired distribution rights for all English-speaking countries, and Independent Film Co. is in charge of the rest.
A fleshed-out summary of the saga told in the movie called MOON is also provided:
"Moon is set in the near future, and follows the story of a man isolated on a moon base where the precious gas that holds the key to reversing the Earth's energy crisis is mined. The film stars Sam Rockwell as that man and the tagline describes him as somebody who is "lonely but not alone"."0 Comments 525 days

The movie called Moon is the new (first) movie by Duncan Jones.
It hasn't been released yet, and he asked the denizens of his dad's website to spread the word.
So could you? Pleeeeease?
Query: Who the fuck are you? Unless you can top the intense radness of the likes of Corey Lewis or Tokidoki you're outta luck.
