MOON opens in Norway on February 12th 2010, and here is the Norwegian promotional poster designed by Haakon Hoseth which makes a great addition to our previous entries of MOON posters from around the world, maybe we should pop a nice gallery together at some point, when it finally completes it’s travels?

Thanks to Haakon, and Norwegian distributors Filmoptimistene for permission to show this to you all, and enjoy MOON Norway

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.

Academy voters, if you were not already aware, MOON is screening at Laemmle’s Music Hall 3, 9036 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, 90211. Further details >>HERE<< you can even take a friend

Have had a quick mooch about and found it is scheduled to show at the following venue:

Kriterion – Amsterdam: http://www.kriterion.nl/news/741/15/Moon/

And in case you don’t know already, here is what it’s all about:

Astronaut Sam Bell woont al bijna drie jaar op de maan in opdracht van Lunar Industries. Hij leeft daar een eenzaam bestaan en door een defecte satelliet heeft hij amper contact met zijn vrouw Tess en driejarige dochter Eve. Zijn enige maatje aan boord is Gerty: een robot. Onverwacht krijgt Sam gezondheidsproblemen en gaat hallucineren waardoor hij een bijna-fataal ongeluk krijgt.

Als hij terug is op zijn basisstation, ontmoet hij zijn jongere en gewelddadigere “ik”. Deze tweede Sam beweert dat hij daar is om hetzelfde driejarige contract uit te dienen. Dan begint de strijd van de ‘echte’ Sam om zo snel mogelijk uit te vinden wat er verkeerd is gegaan en hoe hij op een veilige manier terugkomt naar huis.

Double Bill £6 Members / £9 Non Members Starring: Sean Connery & Sam Rockwell
Moon Director Duncan Jones comes to the PCC to present a very special double bill of Peter Hyams’ 1981 Sci-fi thriller ‘Outland’ starring Sean Connery and Duncan’s very own recent box office smash ‘Moon’.

Come and hear him speak about the inspirations behind his film and watch the two films up on the big screen.

In Outland, Connery is a Police Marshall assigned to a Jupiter mining colony to investigate mysterious deaths.

In Moon, Rockwell works alone on the moon, mining for fuel, however after a serious accident he begins to wonder if he’s hallucinating or if the truth is even more bizarre?
