Rama’s SCREEN

BloodyDisgusting has some first look images from Sam Rockwell’s upcoming sci-fi thriller MOON about a man who’s been stuck in space for three years doing his work and when he’s about to go home, he starts hearing things. Kevin Spacey is the voice of the robot that is said to cause some trouble ala Hal from 2001 Space Odyssey. I’m a big fan of the movie Choke, so it’s fair to say that I’m really looking forward to whatever the under-appreciated actor Rockwell is going to be doing next.

SYNOPSIS:

Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period.

Sam Bell is nearing the end of his contract with Lunar. He’s been a faithful employee for 3 long years. His home has been Selene, a moon base where he has spent his days alone, mining Helium 3. The precious gas holds the key to reversing the Earth’s energy crisis. Isolated, determined and steadfast, Sam has followed the rulebook obediently and his time on the moon has been enlightening, but uneventful. The solitude has given him time to reflect on the mistakes of his past and work on his raging temper. He does his job mechanically, and spends most of his available time dreaming of his imminent return to Earth, to his wife, young daughter and an early retirement. But 2 weeks shy of his departure from Selene, Sam starts seeing things, hearing things and feeling strange. And when a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, he discovers that Lunar have their own plans for replacing him… and the new recruit is eerily familiar. Before he can return to Earth, Sam has to confront himself and the discovery that the life he has created, may not be his own. It’s more than his contract that is set to expire.
