No idea who made this, please let us know if you do so we can credit it properly.
Thanks to Simon Heptinstall for pointing it out though

I was just thinking we hadn’t had a nice poster for a while, when this one arrives from Ricky Plows via Twitter to MOON Director Duncan Jones.
Ricky was kind enough to provide some detail on the design (cus I asked, like) Which I think just makes it even nicer.
The silhouette is made up of Sams memorys from earth. Hes looking into his own eyes and seeing the same memories.
They are positioned to make an hourglass, representing his time left on the moon. Thanks for taking an interest

Ricky has also provided a larger version over on his on-line portfolio, along with another MOON poster
Duncan Jones presented a MOON & Source Code double bill at the New Beverley Cinema, Los Angeles on the 18th & 19th of November, featuring an introduction of each film, and a Q&A with Duncan and his producer Stuart Fenegan, hosted by Julia Marchese. What the audience on the 18th were not aware of, was the surprise appearance of Sam Bell himself, Sam Rockwell.
For those of us unable to attend, I found a few snippets of the Q&A, and was putting together a post for you to get a flavour of the event. Then I found this…
And to top it all off, and maintain the British connection, there’s a nice portion of Edgar Wright at the end presenting Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Fantastic work there by Random Dreamer Studios
As you may have caught Duncan mention there in the Q&A, Julia at the New Beverly is supporting a campaign to fight for the survival of 35mm film projection in cinemas, please take a moment to read Julia’s post, and sign the petition here.
I don’t think I need to write much about this when you can see it for yourself, beautiful.
Portrait of Eve Bell (Kaya Scodelario) from MOON by Massimo Carnevale was spotted by @Songwarmonger on Massimo’s blog. If you are a movie fan, or a fan of damn fine artwork, head over and have a look at the rest of Massimo’s work, incredibly talented chap!
Good News for fans of seeing MOON on the big screen in Edinburgh. Filmhouse includes a screening of Duncan Jones’ award winning feature debut as part of the short ‘What is Human Dignity?‘ season beginning Friday 25th November.
MOON itself will screen on Saturday 26th November at 18:00 and includes a post screening discussion with a panel of bioethics and medical law specialists covering some of the issues raised in the film.
They may be taking a DNA sample on the way out, but this is nothing to worry about, just part of the “the experience”, there is no truth in the rumour that the screening is sponsored by Lunar Industries.
Thanks to Lilly Hunter & Lynne Henderson for the heads up
Well here’s one we hadn’t heard of. Seems you people lucky enough to live in Germany can get a MOON / Source Code Blu-Ray Steel Book from STUDIOCANAL. And not just any steelbook, not a Limited Edition, not a Special Edition. A ‘Duncan Jones Edition’ no less!
And you can buy it here on Amazon.de
Author Joe Hill thinks there’s something kind of cool about having the Moon rise over his staircase, in fact that’s nearly exactly what he said on Twitter earlier to MOON Director, Duncan Jones.
Joe tweeted the beautifully framed poster to Duncan after hanging it over his staircase. Duncan for his part, was truly honoured. And who wouldn’t be honoured to receive such recognition from the incredibly popular author of 20th Century Ghosts, Heart-Shaped Box, Horns, and comic book series Locke & Key.
Of course mounting such a valuable piece of work can be a risky, and dangerous business, but Joe has assured everyone:
(Note: no lunar objects were damaged in the hanging of the aforementioned movie poster)
ミッション:8ミニッツ Mission: 8 Minutes (Source Code) opened strong in Japan last weekend entering the box office charts at number 5. We’ve had some great feedback coming through Twitter to Director Duncan Jones, many like:
From pigitter:
I came to Roppongi in Tokyo to watch a source code. The movie theater was full . We love you!:D
From MorihiroFischer:
I saw “Source Code” yesterday in Tokyo, blew my mind completely. One of the year’s best. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
As we mentioned previously, Duncan & Rodene went out to Japan at the beginning of September for a short promotional trip ahead of Source Code’s Japanese release. The undoubted highlight being a meeting with animation and live action film directing legend, 押井 守 Mamoru Oshii (Ghost In The Shell). As Rodene says on the Source Code tour Tumblr:
…they were interviewed at the same time with one interviewer and each had their own translator, it was a long but interesting interview!
The double interview has been published exclusively in CUT 11月号 magazine, available from their site, have yet to come across a complete translation (Help!) but Duncan did share a great boating analogy that the two Directors came up with while discussing the size of projects that they have been involved in, and would like to be involved in:
Making an indie film is like driving a speedboat. You can turn fast, do what you want to, when you want to. Source Code felt more like captaining an oil tanker. Big, long, slow turns that required a lot of planning and notification.
What myself and Mr, Oshii would like to captain one day is a big blockbuster, or a battleship!
Duncan was also able to finally meet up with an old friend of the blog, a fine fellow who has been keeping us up to date with things over in Japan since MOON was released, Mr Rintaro Watanabe.
As well as meeting up to say hello, have a nice cup of tea & some biscuits, Rintaro and Duncan also found time to have a chat about MOON, Source Code, the film making process, and Duncan’s admiration for Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano (Zatoichi, Ichi The Killer).
For all our friends in Japan, thank you for going out to see Source Code over the last week, apologies for babbling away in English, am ashamed to say my Japanese isn’t great (none existent) so here are some interview links just for you

ミッション:8ミニッツ Mission: 8 Minutes is in cinemas now!
As Michael Palin would say, if he were hanging from a cell wall right now, talking to anyone in LA, or the surrounding area “You lucky, lucky…” you know the rest
And he’d be right, because situated on 7165 West Beverly Blvd,Los Angeles, CA. The New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles will be hosting a double bill of MOON & Source Code on Friday the 18th, and Saturday the 19th November. That’s two double bills of critically acclaimed, award winning Sci-Fi. Not only that, but the Director of both films, Duncan Jones, will be there in person as well, on both nights!
So get yourselves over to the New Beverly site, get in touch, and get those tickets before they’re all gone! Have fun!
Always great to come across an out take from MOON, and here we have the result of a bit of pumpkin whittling from Lunar Industries employee Sam Bell while up on Sarang one Halloween, either that or it’s the result of some very handy carving from our own Sam Bell, Charles Kline from Colorado, USA.
Charles is an old friend of the blog, check out his amazing Sam Bell uniform if you’ve not seen it already.
Have a great Halloween everyone, and rest assured, if you are unable to get out Trick or Treating, Lunar Industries will be able to provide someone to do it for you, as you, while you have a…sleep…
