Kevin Spacey "Hal's" it up for MOON!

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Kevin Spacey, last seen manipulating M.I.T. students into card counting Las Vegas casino's out of thousands of dollars, will voice the likely to be evil computer robot in the upcoming Sam Rockwell starring drama Moon. The movie sees Rockwell isolated on the lunar surface for three years as a miner, desperately seeing out the last of his contracted work so he can get home to his wife and kids but presumably with the mental torturings from Spacey's ever present voice. Things get worse from him however, as he finds out before the end of his deal the LUNAR coorp have decided to replace him with his own clone...

Moon, that guy's got a big problem. He's been stuck on the moon for three years, and he meets his own clone. So he's got a big problem and he has to get home. Oh and he doesn't know how long he has to live. So he's got some pretty Shakespearean problems.

Duncan Jones (the son of legendary Brit David Bowie) wrote and directed the film, which has a particuarly small cast (IMDB list 6 other actors but they are mostly supporting voices back home) and will focus mostly on Rockwell's character, and him alone. Spacey previously played Lex Luthor, hell bent on ridding the world of the alien immigrant Superman in 2006's Superman Returns but has also in the past played a guy convinced he was an alien in 2001's K-Pax. He has a recoganisable, soothing but often sinister voice and could well be the highlight of this movie and the aspect you take from it most, like Hal in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The movie is currently in post-production and will be out sometime next year. Clint Mansell (The Fountain, Smokin' Aces, Doom) is scoring the film which will likely need a good set of music to create mood with such little character interaction.
