Este filme de ciencia ficción marca el debut del director inglés Duncan Jones. Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) ha sido contratado por tres años como minero en una base situada en el lado oscuro de la Luna. Acompañado únicamente por el robot GERTY, Bell se ha acostumbrado a la soledad, por lo que al faltar dos semanas para volver a casa comienza a dudar de lo que sucede a su alrededor.

MOON Trailer in German Ahead of July Cinema Release

Wehay! From Koch Media, here is the German MOON trailer ahead of the July Cinema release. Looking like MOON will now be opening on 60 screens! Good Times :)

In einer nicht allzu weit entfernten Zukunft ist das Energieproblem auf der Erde endlich gelöst, seit die Firma Lunar Industries auf dem Mond den Brennstoff Helium-3 abbaut und es zur Benutzung auf der Erde abtransportieren lässt

Astronaut Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) ist auf dem Mond stationiert, um die einsame Aufgabe des Treibstoffabbaus zu überwachen. Nach knapp drei Jahren auf der Mondbasis führt er seinen Job nur noch mechanisch aus und verbringt die meiste Zeit mit dem Gedanken an seine bevorstehende Rückkehr zur Erde, um endlich seine Frau und ihre gemeinsame Tochter wiederzusehen. Aber zwei Wochen vor seiner Abreise beginnt Sam seltsame Dinge zu sehen und zu hören. Nachdem dann eine Routinekontrolle schief geht, befürchtet er, dass Lunar Industries anscheinend ganz eigene Vorstellungen von seinem Verbleib hat…

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 :)
