I usually don’t get excited over movie trailers… but the new trailer for Moon has me wishing June 12th would come sooner.  Sam Rockwell looks amazing, albeit from the trailer alone.  He was most notably and recently in Frost/Nixon and before that Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.   Apple has this to say about it:

It is the near future. Astronaut Sam Bell is living on the far side of the moon, completing a three-year contract with Lunar Industries to mine Earth’s primary source of energy, Helium-3. It is a lonely job, made harder by a broken satellite that allows no live communications home. Taped messages are all Sam can send and receive. Thankfully, his time on the moon is nearly over, and Sam will be reunited with his wife, Tess, and their three-year-old daughter, Eve, in only a few short weeks. Finally, he will leave the isolation of “Sarang,” the moon base that has been his home for so long, and he will finally have someone to talk to beyond “Gerty,” the base’s well-intentioned, but rather uncomplicated computer.

It looks like a much needed diversion from modern sci-fi’s “pew pew” to a more restrained and psychological, an old throwback to the Arthur C. Clarke days.   Well, what are you waiting for? Go watch the trailer. Now.
