Sam Rockwell in “Moon”

We may have gotten a little trailer-crazy over here at Onelargeprawn, and like me and smoking, it shows no signs of stopping ;-)

While the rest of the world may have seen and loved it, South Africa has yet to see release of Moon. In the feature debut by director Duncan Jones, Moon tells the story of astronaut and Lunar Industries employee Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) who has been stationed on the moon for the last three years. In that time, Sam has been isolated, his only interaction has been with a computer named GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey). Thankfully Sam’s contract has come to an end and soon he’ll be back on earth with his wife and infant daughter.

With two weeks left to serve, Sam starts to hallucinate and gets injured in an accident. After recovering in the station’s infirmary, Sam makes an unauthorized visit to the scene of the accident, whereupon he makes an unexpected discovery…

It reminds me of another movie, you know the one with the thing and the guy, and the monolith? In any case, Moon was released in June and is rated 90% at Rotten Tomatoes. It is expected to hit South African shores in late October this year.
