Duncan's Nasa Snaps And Tony Scott's Memory Loss

This is Ground Control…

You’ve no doubt heard Duncan Jones make mention of his visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center back in March, when collectSPACE arranged to interview him about how NASA and other international space programs served in part as inspiration for his vision of a Helium 3 mining operation on a near future Moon.

We’ve been hanging on to this story in the hope that the interview that accompanies the pictures taken during Duncan’s tour would be published by now.

Four months later the interview remains unpublished. However, the pictures are still worth a look and it’s great to see the look of wonderment on Duncan’s face as he explores the Johnson Space Center like a kid in a toy shop. Go here to view the pictures.

Meanwhile, director Tony Scott was recently interviewed by The Huffington Post on his latest movie, a remake of The Taking of Pelham 123.

After talking about the problems associated with shooting on the subway, Tony recalled an abandoned scene he tried to shoot with David Bowie on the subway for The Hunger. This brought the interviewer neatly round to ask a question about Duncan Jones.

I’ll leave you with that question and Tony’s hilarious response…

———————————————————————————————————————–

Q: Speaking of The Hunger, did you know that David Bowie’s son, Duncan Jones, had his film, Moon, released the same time as yours?

TS: Shit! I saw Duncan the other day in L.A. I forgot he was David’s son!
