Seems to have caught Duncan Jones’ eye as well because he has just re-tweeted this from founder of Virgin, Richard Branson…

The Record Club & Shipley Film Society Present MOON & Hunky Dory 22nd January
Anyone near Shipley, West Yorkshire has a unique opportunity to attend a great evening of film and music.
The Record Club along with Shipley Film Society are holding an evening of film & music on Sunday, January 22nd. A screening of Duncan Jones award winning 2009 debut MOON starring Sam Rockwell, will be followed by a full play through of David Bowie’s 1971 classic album Hunky Dory (celebrating it’s 40th Birthday!) on vinyl 
The Record Club were inspired by reading an article on the BBC News site on record clubs and the idea of returning to listening to vinyl LPs all the way through, as originally intended by the recording artiste. Shipley Film Society’s aim is to bring together like minded people for film viewing and discussion over a few drinks afterwards. Combine the two and you have what promises to be a wonderful evening of film & music with a bunch of great people to boot!
As well as MOON & Hunky Dory, the evening will also be mixing in associated music including records from MOON score composer Clint Mansell’s former band Pop Will Eat Itself. Shipley Film Society have also requested that anyone that owns 7″ vinyl copies of Chesney Hawkes ‘The One and Only’ and Katrina & The Waves ‘Walking On Sunshine’ bring them along too. If you’ve seen MOON you’ll know why, if not…
When: Sunday, January 22nd 2012 @ 19:00
Where: The Kirkgate Centre, Shipley, BD18 3RR

Awards season is gearing up with the BAFTAs taking place on 12th of February, the Academy Awards on February the 26th and more besides.

MOON: Time To Remember Poster
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
New Beverly Q&A with Duncan Jones Sam Rockwell & Stuart Fenegan
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.
MOON: Portrait of Eve Bell By Massimo Carnevale
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!
MOON Showing As Part Of The Filmhouse ‘What is Human Dignity?’ Season 26th November
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
