Sam Bell vit depuis plus de trois ans dans la station lunaire deSelene, oùil gère l’extraction de l’hélium 3, seule solution àla crise de l’énergie sur Terre. Souffrant en silence de son isolement et de ladistance le séparant de sa femme et de sa fille, il passe son temps àimaginer leurs retrouvailles. Mais quelques semaines avant la fin de son contrat pour l’entreprise Lunar, Sam se met àvoir et àentendre des choses étranges… D’abord convaincu que son isolement y est pour quelque chose, il se retrouve malgrétout àenquêter et découvre que si ses patrons ont prévu de le remplacer, ils n’ont jamais projetéde le ramener. A moins que ce soit la Lune qui ne souhaite pas le voir partir…

Japanese MOON Twitter campaign

News from Screen Daily article by Jason GraySony plans innovative Twitter campaign for Moon in Japan

MOON fans in Japan are being given the opportunity to take part in an innovative Twitter campaign promoting the April release of Duncan Jones’ debut feature.

From midnight on 25th March, until midnight on 31st March, the first 1000 Twitter users who follow the account promoting MOON & tweet using a specific hash tag ( #moon_otoko ) will be given special access to view footage from the movie online.

Users will be selected, and then be able to view the 1st 18 minutes of the film online on 5th April, while tweeting along discussing film at the same time.

Great to see MOON continue it’s journey around the world, and certainly seems to be getting some cool attention over in Japan.

MOON opens in Japan on 10th of April, see HERE for our previous coverage on the Japanese launch.

MOON Japan Site Live Ready For April Release

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 :)
