Sam Rockwell Over The ‘Moon’ For New Project
Ground control to Major Sam: Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Actually, forget that — it’s not gonna make much of a difference where you’re going, anyway.
Sporting a gnarly beard at Sundance, “Choke” star Sam Rockwell told MTV News it was all in preparation for his latest role, where the intrepid actor is going to take one small step for man…his last.
“I’m doing a sci-fi movie where I’m stranded on the moon for three years,” Rockwell revealed. “That’s why I have the beard.”
Three years? And this from the guy who once went to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. You’d think taking tea on the moon would be a breeze by way of comparison.
But Rockwell is full speed ahead for the project, called “Moon,” which will be directed by Duncan Jones, the actor said.
Jones, for those not in the know, is a former ad exec also known as Zowie Bowie, also known as the son of David Jones, who, in turn, is also known as David Bowie. Hence the “Major Tom” reference. Hence the love.
Rockwell himself was coy with details pertaining to, you know, how he actually got to the moon in the first place — although presumably it’s a sort of macabre “what if.” As in, what if Neil Armstrong had to wait until Apollo 12 to come back home? And what if he had a freaking awesome beard?

Duncan Jones to Direct First Feature Film
Duncan Jones (for those who don’t know, he is the very talented film director son of David Jones aka Bowie) has whispered thusly to us:
_ _ _ _ _
“I’m finally directing my first feature film, a grown up piece of science fiction starring the incredibly lovely and talented Sam Rockwell.
We have just finished the first week of production in London and the film is already looking pretty damn special. Think “some sci-fi classic from the 70s that somehow was over-looked and has only now been unearthed.”
I’ll try and stop by every week or two and give you another tidbit, if you like.
Yours, covered in film stock and very 70’s beard,
–Duncan Jones.”

(tidbit number 1: “I will be appearing in a VERY brief cameo in an outrageous, home-grown beard!“)
(another tidbit from Mr. Jones: “The working title.. and possible final title, is “Moon”

Carbon Date Me
claude_rains
01/02/2008
There’s someone buried in my workload screaming, a thundercloud born again, a sideways glace whilst fire breathing. Drifting over tattered flags in darkness thinking, this must be how the Virgin Mary suffered when she felt the pull of post natal depression.
There’s someone pulling visions through the pupils of my eyes, though in truth it’s just a demonstration of her ability to pay. Still, this is where I’ll make my final stand in the furthest corners of loves drunken palace; sugar-coated always and just beyond belief.

Are We?
are we shifting angles skyward
are we magnetic raw demons
drawing exciting fine words
in the mire of dawn?
are we foxed by nectar
and the prospect of a magic Winter
a widening dream
and hot fatalities?
are we a flattering idea
ready-made
by law which already had
it fitted for someone else?
are we dignified art
a trendy game
some fair landscape
for a genial frame?
are we
one
vital, self-willed angel
one
drawcord
one
talon
one
detail drifting away
waiting for finality
of a diligent rain?
are we me?
are we you?
are we data?
are we wit on Fridays?
are we drawing at
the pages of life
with a dull pencil
in thin grim margins?

Serotine
if you could talk to Tomorrow
what would you say
to that lonely siren
in the distance
the next moment sits glowing
like friar’s lantern
flowing from an inlet
a silent intern
without tumult or rumor
a resurrect synthesis
with no ruse and no tryst
the sunsets too distant
to rest over it
before the vision is over
before the window is open
could an ion of will
become premonition
if you could walk this moment
through the bardo to the next
what would your lurking motto be?
what would trickle from you
into the recesses
of Time’s thirsty run
towards the rich urn of the future
would the unrest serotine
of your mind’s eye stretch
across possibility, or will you realize
that what is inside
the light of Time
is the same as what is not
there is only Transformation
