WELL DONE MOON!! :)

More MOON team congratulations in order also, as Director Duncan Jones becomes the winner of the public vote for Best New Director at todays Richard Attenborough Awards in London. Confirmed on Screen Daily.

Nice double whammy for MOON then today, and the little British Sci-Fi film continues to defy any initial expectations of moderate success on a small budget, to carry on picking up awards and opeing theatrically around the world (see previous article for Japan release news)

Article over on the BBC has just announced Sam Rockwell has been named Best Actor in the 2010 Richard Attenborough Film Awards, for his portrayal of Sam Bell in MOON.

Off to Chicago… again.

manmademoon | January 25, 2010 | 4:58 pm

So, this is a little test, though I have become so twittutionalized, I dont know if I will be able to break out of the 140 character limit… actually… I’ve just done it. So, that wasn’t so hard.

Im off to Chicago today. Yet another visit to check on the locations and plates we need to shoot of the Windy City. The majority of the film will be filmed in chilly Montreal, so our Chicago shoot will be taken care of by a second unit. That means I will not be there for it. Its the first time I have ever been in a situation where I will not be directing elements of my own shoot. Feels down-right odd, but just one of the many differences between shooting an indie and shooting something “through the system.”

I’ve been discovering lot of those differences lately… enough to write a book on them? maybe a pamphlet. Certainly enough to write a blog. Ill have to think about that one. Doubt I would have time to do that, anyway. We shall have to see. In the meantime, Chicago, here I come… again.

MOON Japan Site Live Ready For April Release

unklerupert | January 24, 2010 | 10:50 pm

Moon Otoko

Happy days Japan as we have received confirmation that MOON will be opening over there, April 10th 2010.

The Japanese MOON site has now gone live, and press screenings will also be occuring during Feb to promote the release. Not much currently on show, but that will change as the release approaches, so bookmark it now in readyness, click on the image above, or >>HERE<<

Please forgive, but my Japanese is a bit rusty these days, so a wee explanation and further details from our honourable correspondent out in Japan @hip_priest_kobe

OK, the Japanese title is:

月に囚われた男

In English it means Man caught in the moon

Caught 囚 kind of give the emotion of imprisonment, which does not come across clearly in an English translation.

Maybe…..Man imprisoned in the Moon is closer, but literally translated it would be caught, or trapped.

Movie roadshow from April, starting at Ebisu Garden place cinema Tokyo.

Which makes it all the more intriguing to those that have not seen the film yet, and have avoided spoilers :)

Vote MOON for St Patrick’s Day London Screening

unklerupert | January 19, 2010 | 9:52 pm

jameson cult film club

How does a St Patrick’s Day screening of Duncan Jones’ MOON starring Sam Rockwell, at the Royal Institute in London sound? Good? Exactly what we thought as well when Ben Mortimer pointed us in the direction of this vote off for the Jameson Cult Film Club >>HERE<<

As you can see from the above image, there is a public vote between ‘MOON’, ‘Donny Darko’, and the 1953 ‘War of the Worlds’ all you have to do, to ensure that it is ‘MOON’ that you want to see, is head over to the site, cast your vote before the closing date of January 25th 2010. Ticket registration will open on 17th February 2010, the venue will be decked out suitably for the winning film, so this promises to be a very special evening for the MOON fans (should we win) as the Jameson Cult Film Club says:

Together with our friends at Empire we have come up with a choice of three cult Sci-Fi movies, to screen at the Royal Institute, in London on St Patrick’s Day, March 17.

Many of you will recognise the venue from their Christmas Lectures, which are televised from the lecture hall every year. What you may not realise is that this fantastic venue has also been the home to some of the most prestigious scientific minds in the UK (including Michael Faraday), and some of the most important scientific discoveries of the last two decades were made within its very walls.

The venue will be dressed to complement the winning film; you will be surrounded by science wonders such as Faraday’s working lab in the basement for pre-screening drinks, before heading up into the famous lecture hall for the screening itself, followed by an after-party in the upstairs rooms of the Institute.

Tippety top night by the sound of it, so, if you want to see MOON, get on over and vote now.
