Welcome to part two of our exclusive interview with MOON Director Duncan Jones, and Concept Artist/VFX Supervisor Gavin Rothery from the August 2010 screening of MOON at the BFI Southbank, London.

Ben Mortimer chats to Duncan about his upcoming 2nd feature ‘Source Code‘, the status of MOON follow up ‘Mute‘, other projects that Duncan has been linked with since the success of MOON (including, as revealed previously, Judge Dredd)

Love how happy they all get at the mention of the Trigan Empire :)

Ben also gets an update from Gav on where his career is taking him since the success of MOON. Apologies for the delay in getting this up, but hope that you enjoy enough to forgive us.

Thanks to Ben and James for getting down to BFI at such short notice, and of course to Duncan & Gavin for being so generous with their time.

Part 1 where the chaps talk about the beginnings of MOON can be seen here.

If all that tickles your fancy, please make sure you pop over to Gav’s fantastic portfolio site, and his revealing behind the scenes MOON blog ‘They Never Went To The Moon‘

And don’t forget to check out Ben and Cuffy’s sites.

When MOON was screened at the BFI to a sell out crowd at the end of August, we were lucky enough to get a word with MOON Director Duncan Jones, joined by Concept Artist & VFX Supervisor Gavin Rothery.

Thanks to the wonderful support of great friends Ben Mortimer (interviewing) & James Cuff (camera) we proudly present the first part of their interview.

Duncan & Gavin cover the beginning of the MOON process, their obvious love of Mexican food, the change in the writing process for Duncan post MOON, and also hint at a possible Sci-Fi-Rom-Com mashup featuring Hugh Grant.

This is a quick taster of the full interview, we’ll let you know as soon as the fantastic Mr Cuff has edited the rest down.
