There’s something in the sky, Shining in the light, Spinning and far away…
Following last night’s successful openings in New York and LA, (04.08.2009 NEWS: MOON IN NEW YORK AND LA THEATRES IN JUNE) we thought it would be good to link to some of the recent interviews director Duncan Jones has been doing.
Aside from MOON, the subjects range from Duncan’s two upcoming projects: Mute and Escape From The Deep, his own favourite sci-fi films, how he got his first breaks in the film world, growing up and looking at and understanding himself…and much more.
First up is a great video interview with Break Room Live from June 4th which you can view here.
And here are links to less visual but equally interesting interviews from the last couple of weeks including one with Sam Rockwell…(Possible spoilers ahead!)

If you’ve not been reading these interviews as they’ve been published and you have the time now, it’s really worth ploughing through them all.
There’s lots of absolutely fascinating stuff, with exclusive content in each, wherein Duncan paints some wonderful mental images from his childhood, such as sitting down with his dad to watch Clockwork Orange and roaming the streets of 50s Soho in London via the stage sets of Absolute Beginners.
If you’re in North America keep an eye on the official MOON site for details of screenings near you.
The London preview at the NFT that we told you about a few day ago (06.09.2009 NEWS: DUNCAN JONES Q&A AND MOON PREVIEW AT THE NFT) is now fully booked.
