Moon has a new cast member, Kevin Spacey, directed by Duncan Jones (David Bowie’s son.) Spacey is set to star with Sam Rockwell, Kaya Scodelario, Benedict Wong, Matt Berry, Malcolm Stewart and Dominique McElligott.

Spacey will play the voice of a robot.

The story is science fiction, of course, with a main character named Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell.) He is finishing up his contract with Lunar as a faithful employee for 3 long years.

Selene is his home, a moon base, where he has spent his faithful days alone, mining Helium 3, known as a precious gas that holds the key to reversing the Earth’s energy crisis.

Isolated, strong-minded and steadfast, Sam followed the rulebook dutifully while his time on the moon enlightened him – yet still uneventful. 

The isolation gave him time to reflect on his past mistakes 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.

However, 2 weeks out from his departure from Selene, Sam starts seeing things, hearing things and feeling strange.

And when a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, Sam 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 him and the discovery that the life he created may not be his own.

It’s more than his contract that is set to expire.
