Kevin Spacey Heads to the 'Moon'

One of my favorite actors of the '90s (K-PAX, why?!), Kevin Spacey (pictured inside), has joined the cast of Moon, which will be directed by David Bowie's son Duncan Jones, according to io9. He will be starring alongside Sam Rockwell, Kaya Scodelario, Benedict Wong, Matt Berry, Malcolm Stewart and Dominique McElligott. Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period. Read on for a longer synopsis.

Sam Bell is nearing the end of his contract with Lunar. He's been a faithful employee for 3 long years. His home has been Selene, a moon base where he has spent his days alone, mining Helium 3. The precious gas holds the key to reversing the Earth's energy crisis. Isolated, determined and steadfast, Sam has followed the rulebook obediently and his time on the moon has been enlightening, but uneventful. The solitude has given him time to reflect on the mistakes of his past and work on his raging temper. He does his job mechanically, and spends most of his available time dreaming of his imminent return to Earth, to his wife, young daughter and an early retirement. But 2 weeks shy of his departure from Selene, Sam starts seeing things, hearing things and feeling strange. And when a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, he discovers that Lunar have their own plans for replacing him... and the new recruit is eerily familiar. Before he can return to Earth, Sam has to confront himself and the discovery that the life he has created, may not be his own. It's more than his contract that is set to expire.

This sounds pretty cool. With Kevin Spacey it probably won't be too bad.

Kevin Spacey isn't actually IN the movie, he's the voice of a robot. http://shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=753 7

This wouldn't have anything to do with the upcoming DS game? I just saw the poster and couldn't help but be reminded of one of the corridors in the trailer.

he's a synthetic clone with three year shelflife who thought he was real. probably hit it on the head, it something spacey would enjoy doing. i remember a flick a fews years ago where aliens replaced people with exact copies that were wmds, and they thought they were real also.

Spacey is the VOICE of a robot. The main character is Sam Rockwell (who is also great.)

He was really good in Joshua as well. And Choke looks awesome.

Reminds me of Solaris with Clooney. a weird sci-fi psychology flick.

The story sounds interesting but spacey is by miles far the most overrated actor of all time, Really, his ovies do suck.

His ovies may suck, but his Movies are pretty awesome. Se7en or American Beauty for instance. And anyway, that's not even a reason to diss this movie since he's only the VOICE of a ROBOT.

"Shhhhhhhh, be vewwwy, vewwwy quiet!" The most overated is Elmer J. Fudd! lmfao
