    Well, how important were the medeival Japan settings of Kurusawa's Shakespeare re-makes?

    I'd say setting is an important part of a movie, and many different movies are the same story if you boil them down hard enough.

    Jones' film Moon convinced me. No matter how strange the concept, I'll trust Zowie Bowie to make it good. #duncanjones

    Sounds intriguing, I'd like to read this but not sure I really enjoy reading scripts. Maybe I'll wait for the novelization. #duncanjones

    I've read the script. While the science doesn't make any sense it's a great premise that's pulled off elegantly. It's basically Groundhog Day as a sci-fi thriller instead of a redemptive comedy. #duncanjones

    reminds me a bit of the ww2 episode of Harsh Realm (or alot of harsh realm really, was a good series I thought).
    Anyway not enamoured as much as every body else seems to be of old Jake (he's not the best actor in the world) but look forward to Jones' take on this :) #duncanjones

    Let's hope he keeps his 'Prince of Persia' body... or better yet, revisits his 'Jarhead' bod.

    Am I really that shallow?! #duncanjones

    Seeing as though the minimum fee is different for actors when they do not speak lines, I think maybe his investors were going under the assumption that they wouldn't have to pay the actors much because they thought there was going to be no dialogue.
