...Hard science-fiction, which is often about the interface between humans and alien intelligence of one kind of or other, including digital. The movie is really all about ideas. It only seems to be about emotions. How real are our emotions, anyway? How real are we?" ^ Ebert, Roger (17 June 2009) Chicago Sun-Times.
Moon is the first feature film directed by commercial director Duncan Jones, who co-wrote the script with Nathan Parker.[4] The film was specifically written as a vehicle for actor Sam Rockwell.[5] The film pays homage to the films of Jones's youth, such as 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Silent Running (1972), Solaris (1972), Alien (1979) and Outland (1981).[6] Jones described the intent, "[We] wanted to create something which felt comfortable within that canon of those science fiction films from the sort of late seventies to early eighties. For me, the Moon has this weird mythic nature to it... There is still a mystery to it. As a location, it bridges the gap between science-fiction and science fact. We (humankind) have been there. It is something so close and so plausible and yet at the same time, we really don't know that much about it."
Moon's budget was $5 million.[9] The director took steps to minimise production costs, such as keeping the cast small and filming in a studio.[7] Moon was produced at Shepperton Studios, London, England,[4] where it filmed for 33 days.[7] Jones preferred using models instead of digital animation.[6] Jones worked with Bill Pearson, the supervising model maker on Alien, to help design the lunar rovers and helium-3 harvesters in the film.[10] The moon base was created as a full 360-degree set, being 85–90 feet (26–27 m) long and approximately 70 feet (21 m) wide.
