There's a interesting little sci-fi film on the horizon called Moon starring Sam Rockwell. We've actually mentioned it a few times before, but it remains under the radar, or at least it will until today. The guys over at Bloody Disgusting got their hand on a very impressive batch of photos from the film. Astronaut Sam Bell (Rockwell) has been mining Helium 3 on the moon three years alone. Just two weeks shy of his departure from the lunar base Selene, Sam starts seeing and hearing things and feeling strange. When a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, he discovers that his employer has their own plans for replacing him and the new recruit is eerily familiar. If you're a sci-fi nut like me, you'll definitely want to check these out!

Click any of the photos below to see more of them. We've only just featured our own favorites below.

Moon is being directing by Duncan Jones, also known as Zowie Bowie, the son of David Bowie. Jones is a former ad exec turned filmmaker with only one film under his belt, a sci-fi short from 2000 called Whistle. I really love the look of this. I'm a big fan of anything sci-fi and an even bigger fan of independent sci-fi. Beyond that, the prospect of seeing Rockwell take on a solo role is very exciting. He's an incredibly underrated actor and roles like this will only put him in the spotlight even more. Moon doesn't yet have a US distributor just yet and only recently seems to have finished shooting. Stay tuned for more details soon!
