Nov 18 2008This 'Moon' Movie Looks Pretty Good
Bloody Disgusting has posted 18 eye-pleasing images from the upcoming Sam Rockwell-starring sci-fi film, Moon. As they describe it, Rockwell plays an astronaut named Bel, who "has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period." There may never be a complete return to the dark, thoughtful, elegantly shot sci-fi filmmaking of something like the original Solaris and 2001, but this sounds and looks like the next best thing. After this, of course:
Giant snow tiger cub perched on the moon is always the best thing. It basically invented science fiction. You wouldn't know what a light saber was if this guy hadn't slumped over those craters during an eclipse.
(Thanks, Matt.)

Really have been looking forward to film that does justice to our universe's splendor. Here's hoping.

those external shots look amazing...if you think "Space 1999" was the pinnacle of special effects.

@3 agreed. I was half expecting to see a He-man action figure with a space helmet on float by.
