Smoke & Stream - Mute

When Moon ended, I sat dazed through the credits & then restarted the film. I have no idea how many times I've actually watched it because the number is...uh....high. 

Duncan Jones wrote the screenplay to Mute back in 2006. Apparently, he showed it to Sam Rockwell who loved it and wanted the main role. I suppose something was either off with Jones getting it funded or he didn't think Rockwell was the right fit so he sat down and wrote Moon and they made that one together. 

Now here come Mute which looks downright Blade Runner, but the kicker is, this takes places in the same universe as Moon. Sam Bell (the Sam Rockwell character) shows up somewhere in the story. So this is my Moon 2 and I hope it's amazing because I intend to watch it a number of times, high. I mean a high number of times.
