Duncan Jones' Moon was a huge hit at Sundance and deservedly so. It also won Best Brit Feature at the Edinburg International Film Festival and the Best Actor Prize for Sam Rockwell at the Seattle International Film Festival. It harkens back to a time when the story and not the effects made for great Sci Fi. On a small budget, Jones developed the main story and passed on the screenplay to Nathan Parker. Jones accomplished the amazing feat of creating a visually excellent Sci Fi film surrounding a modern story. Sam Rockwell is exceptional in the lead role displaying a myriad of emotions. Kevin Spacey is excellent as 2001 HAL's modern counterpart Gerty.Duncan Jones, Zowie Bowie, in an earlier incarnation, has a real future as a filmmaker and we look anxiously forward to his next film. It was also wonderful to see Rockwell given a role that displays his gifts as one of the top young actors working today.
Excellent interview with Director Jones (includes trailer and minor spoilers).
