Movie Poster: Sam Rockwell’s Moon

Earlier this week we posted some photos from Sam Rockwell’s upcoming sci-fi space thriller Moon. The film tells the story of an Astronaut who has been mining Helium 3 on the moon for the last three years by himself. With only two weeks before he returns home, Sam begins seeing and hearing things.

The promise of an old school in-space science fiction film scored by Clint Mansell (Requiem for a Dream) certainly has us excited. Now IMPAwards has the first poster for the movie. Check it out below. Still no word on when this film will hit theaters, but I’m guessing that it could premiere at Sundance in January.

    This looks better and better every time some new piece of it pops up on the net. It's definately reminiscent of 2001. Oh, and Sam Rockwell's da maaaaaan!
  • steelo
    now that has serious potential.
  • the last bampf
    easy, tiger. you must've taken the bad acid.
  • This looks great. I can not wait for a trailer. I hope it is an old school space movie in every way.
  • Well from the computer bus design on the poster.......................my guess............he's not on the moon, but asleep in some program for last 2 yrs..................matrix style. Enter diabolical scientific test on human loneliness, yadda, yadda................cue my vomit.
  • wow... MOON looks so damn good... i bet it could become a sci=fi classic like 2021 and Star Wars....
  • Niels Jeppesen
    Huge fan of Sam Rockwell(Confessions of A Dangerous Mind, Choke etc are just so cool) and thus very excited I am.
  • I must have missed that classic sci-fi movie 2021.............
  • brian
    one word....awesome
  • hoffamania
    I can't wait for this one... looks promising
  • this movie looks like it would be really good. its been a while since we had good sci fi movies

    I'm excited that Clint Mansell is doing the score. I loved his work on Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain; very intense.

    I am not a fan of Sam Rockwell in the slightest. However, I have to agree with the OP; ChampCheyne. "Sunshine" got me really excited to see some old school sci fi drama. If this can pull that off as well as Danny Boyles' I'll be the first one in line.
  • ChampCheyne
    I am excited for this one. After Danny Boyle's Sunshine, I have had the itch for some more good space movies.
  • This might just be Alien for the 21st century. I love Sam Rockwell too. While this poster doesn't really impress me that much...I thought the photos posted before were definitely interesting.
  • Oi Vey
    I really think that the Star Wars prequels killed space sci-fi movies. Really. Or at least, studios are not as risky as they were before. I wish it was the 70s again.
  • peteo
    Not feeling this story as "...on the moon for the last three years by himself..." sounds kinda unbelievable already.
  • The poster tells just as much as those photos, Nothing! Suspense is killing me.
  • really excited for this movie, solid poster
  • They weren't that well accepted critically, but they all made over 300Mil domestically, I don't think the studios would be "risking" anything according to this example. I'd say Superhero movies are to blame for the lack of sci-fi, but 2009 is going to be a great year for the genre.
  • BRIAN RODDEN
    I'M NOT SAM BUT I ROCK WELL!
  • this also reminds me alot of the upcoming DS game of the same name.
  • Captain Awesome
    Star Wars has nothing to do with killing anything but it's own franchise. You can thank Lucas for that. As for wanting it to be the 70's again? Drop some acid.
  • The Requiem Soundtrack is great. It's too bad everyone uses it in every movie trailer.
  • Looks very intriguing. The first thing I thought of was 2001: A Space Odyssey. Science fiction and I do not jive, and I will wait for the trailer to decide for sure, but I may go see this. Seems a little more human and realistic than those fantasy science fiction flicks about intergalactic civil war. How come there is never any mining in those movies anyway? All civilizations have to mine, harvest and farm. It's the crux of most science fiction novels (so my sci-fi-freak buddy tells me...)
  • Maybe he is the computer. Like Artificial Intellegence or something.
  • You assume this guy didn't read other replies because he offered a different explanation than your own? Yours is in no way definitive, and almost certainly wrong.
  • finally a worthy successor to 2001???

    Not that i feel Danny Boyle's Sunshine is itty bitty close to being a worthwhile succesor, (personally i dig the movie until they kinda drop the ball with slasher twist), this looks much more promising.

    The isolation theme is the more intriguing part, and Rockwell is someone who could pull it off without any hiccups. I just don't want it to turn on it heels like the Sunshine ending with insane captain slasher played by Mark Strong (that guy is some serious show stealer) ....

    And , yup!, the poster is very 2001ish - HAL 9000 interiors inspired!

    cant wait !

    And oh, i have'nt seen Solaris... is it any good?
  • w smith
    Indeed, I'm getting strong 2001/ Tarkovsky Solaris vibes. Look at the poster for the oringal Solaris

    Very 2001-ish. I wonder what the computer chip/circuitry pattern that frames him is supposed to imply along with the tagline. Maybe commenting or hinting that this character is going to get way too wrapped up in technology and it will start messing with his concept of his own identity.
  • Trapped in a computer simulation.

    Don't you read other replies before commenting? Could really save a lot of repetitive points.
  • its ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
