Duncan Jones (“Warcraft”, “Moon”) will shoot his long-awaited science-fiction film “Mute” next week.
The filmmaker revealed the news via Twitter, reconfirming that the film is still connected to his 2009 film “Moon”, which starred Sam Rockwell as a man living and working alone on the moon. The two films are believed to be set in the same world, with Rockwell’s character set to reprise his role in the new film.
Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”) has the lead role in “Mute”. He plays a mute bartender who goes on a journey into the underbelly of the city and encounters a pair of American surgeons, one of which is played by Paul Rudd.
“Mute” is said to be the second in a trilogy that began with the acclaimed “Moon”.
