Just found an interesting movie trailer from one of my SF Twitter feeds. Thank you, TorBooks! Moon stars Sam Rockwell as a lone worker on a moon base. His only companion is a HAL-esque computer. He has two weeks of his three-year stint left when he discovers a body that looks exactly like him.
The trailer has a lot of clever pop-culture and SF references. It looks well-acted, tense and psychologically complex, but any SF fan will note the strong hints of the HAL/Dave dynamic. The look is different than Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyessy, but there are some strong parallels here. I will be interested to see if this movie can position itself in relation to 2001, or if it will be a knock-off.
I make HAL/Dave jokes at work all the time, so I will probably enjoy this movie a whole lot.
