Sam Rockwell Will Be In Duncan Jones' Mute

Whoa. I hadn’t heard about Duncan Jones’ next project, Mute, until now…but he’s following up Moon with another sci-fi movie that counts Blade Runner as its biggest visual influence? Sweet jeebus, I’m hooked on this guy. Duncan Jones, prepare to join Darren Aronofsky on a platform of current directors who most fascinate me.

Sam Rockwell & Duncan Jones on Moon

I’m pretty much hooked on makingof.com - there’s a lot of really fascinating content here.

Still from Moon.
A, approaching A+ (contingent on rewatching). If you can get to a theater showing Moon, do it. Sam Rockwell’s amazing in his best performance since Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. The visuals are stunning, considering the miniscule $5 million budget, and Duncan Jones (nee Zowie Bowie) creates an incredible little world with nods to 2001, Outland, Blade Runner, and other sci-fi classics. Clever script as well. All in all, a pretty incredible accomplishment for a first film.

Moon Trailer (HD) (via TheFilmStage)

Actually, I may as well go ahead and post the trailer for Moon while I’m at it. Psychological isolationist sci-fi thriller? Check. Oh, and it’s directed by Bowie’s son.
