MAGRATHEA!
Could be neat. by blckmgk13	May 6th, 2008 03:05:36 AM
Drama or comedy though?
Grrr... Between this and The Ditch... by Bass Bastardson	May 6th, 2008 03:10:48 AM
...one of my long-sat-upon story ideas is looking less and less viable. Memo to self - if you have an idea, actually write it before someone else has a similar idea and actually gets it made. Of course, now I guess I could pitch my idea as in that horrible Hollywood fashion - "It's the Ditch meets The Moon".
Sounds interesting! by BiggusDickus	May 6th, 2008 03:11:07 AM
Be nice to see Rockwell redeem himself after killing Zaphod Beeblebrox...
dammit by Bass Bastardson	May 6th, 2008 03:16:47 AM
Every time I cut and paste a post, I wind up mangling the phrasing. I wish there was an edit button, or an "approve post" window that let you see the whole message before finalizing it. Then maybe I wouldn't sound like quite as big of an illiterate moron. Anyway, there's an extra "as" in my previous post... and now I've gone and made a big deal about it. I should just shut up.
Duncan Jones is David Bowie's son by IndustryKiller!	May 6th, 2008 03:26:39 AM
Formerly known as Zowie Bowie. It seems like the talent is hereditary. Sounds like a cool flick and with old school model work no less. i'm in.
I saw a Behind The Scenes piece about this by barnaby jones	May 6th, 2008 03:43:30 AM
on Film 2008, looks interesting.
Hopefully Rockwell will do a better job than his Zaphod by photoboy	May 6th, 2008 04:02:36 AM
I was really surprised at how weak his Zaphod was in the H2G2 movie, I'd expected him to totally knock it out the park. Admittedly, the idea of hiding Zaphod's second head fatally knee-capped the part anyway, but I still expected Rockwell to get the swagger and ego right. Still, this could be pretty cool with the right story.
Swung by Sheperton! by FILMFUNK	May 6th, 2008 04:21:52 AM
sounds a bit Twilight zony which is cool and Doplegangers scare the piss out of me so as long as it's not Galaxy Questish i'm in!
model work instead of CG? by thinboyslim.	May 6th, 2008 04:29:18 AM
not sure a clone of Sam Rockwell is gonna look as good if they're using a model, might end up like Mannequin In Space??
but then... shockingly.... by DrManhattansUnit	May 6th, 2008 04:41:22 AM
the CLONE TURNS EVIL!!!!!!
Hey, Rockwell's in it. I'm watching. by Knuckleduster	May 6th, 2008 06:34:14 AM
It would be pretty cool if the clone is a retard like in Multiplicity, and Sam plays him Galaxy Quest style.
thinboyslim by slugbat	May 6th, 2008 07:00:53 AM
It's called a tripod. Shoot Sam once, shoot Sam again. Put two shots together. Bam, 2 dudes.
Fly me to the moon..... by Yeti	May 6th, 2008 07:01:04 AM
Hope they use that song somehow in the movie.
the search for one eyed jimmy on the moon! by LarryTheCableGuy	May 6th, 2008 07:38:45 AM
they had no beers!
Rcokwell should be playing W in the Bush film by Laserhead	May 6th, 2008 08:43:44 AM
Just a thought. He'd be awesome.
by McDee	May 6th, 2008 08:45:01 AM
The year is 1972 Its our last trip to the moon But one of them is gathering rocks when the capsule hatch door locks now he's Lonely Astronaut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =svAQ6BCIgxg
Killler Idea. Rockwell is The Man, by cowboyone	May 6th, 2008 09:13:45 AM
Sounds a little "Solaris-y"? (That's a good thing)
This is Bowie to Bowie by Series7	May 6th, 2008 10:04:01 AM

I like Samuel by Series7	May 6th, 2008 10:10:15 AM
but he is becoming the actor who plays himself in every movie. He is like an odd combination of Jack Nicholson and Bill Murray (who I just saw at Whole Foods the other day, it was really bizzar). The only movie I've seen him in that was almost different then everything else he's done was Joshua (good film as well).
hhhmmmmm.... by doodah	May 6th, 2008 11:25:37 AM
would anybody here let your clone give you a handy?...is that gay?
doodah by frankenfickle	May 6th, 2008 12:35:41 PM
super gay.
frankenfickle by doodah	May 6th, 2008 01:20:31 PM
what if your clone looked like brad pitt?
Space on a budget? EASY!!! by Darth Macchio	May 6th, 2008 01:40:10 PM
Just go to the kids aisle in any grocery store...buy a shitload of black construction paper (the really thick but still papery stuff)...take a sharpened pencil and punch holes in the paper. Push the pencil in further to make big stars or planets...poke only tiny holes to make far away stars. Then tape all the holy construction paper to the windows of your double-wide trailer and then during the day...voila! instant space out the window. Also...cover the interior with tin foil and then baby powder and brown sugar. Makes badass sci-fi hallways and walls. Then...attach a plate to your head via bungee, etc, and voila...you're a fucking alien!! Rockwell is the shit in everything he does...I still think he was one of the best things of the otherwise fizzling Hitchhiker's movie (don't panic) contrary to other TB'ers. Zooey Deschanel is definitely cute but she sounds like she's speaking around a mouthful of soda or something. Mos Def was great as Ford and the guy who played Arthur was...meh. Of course the genius of Bill Nighy cannot be stopped. I still think Rockwell mostly stole the show for Galaxy Quest. Him and Tony Shaloud anyway (Shaloub is one of the most understated comedic actors that nobody knows).
Oh while I'm at it.,... by Darth Macchio	May 6th, 2008 01:42:12 PM
Is it still called 'mutual masturbation' if you and your clone whack each other off?
I like Sam by xevoid	May 6th, 2008 01:47:14 PM
He wa s great in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. He was the creepiest sas man you ever did see. He plays great hicks, hillbillies, white trash and criminals and other assorted lowlifes. I loved him in HHTTG, unlike a lot of folks. I don't know who he was channeling but I was entertained.
Umm... WHAT? by Teddy Artery	May 6th, 2008 03:24:51 PM
From a description of the movie... "Story centers on a man who mines the precious gas that holds the key to reversing the Earth's energy crisis." That's dumb.
Sam Rockwell=Box Office Poison by KurtLockwood	May 6th, 2008 04:06:59 PM
And just a bad, unlikeable actor in general. His performance in the Kevin Kline remake of A Midsummer Night's Dream was the most awful rendition of Shakespearean dialogue since Keanu. Didn't this guy ever take a Shakespearean acting class? Kline, however, is effortless.
danny by Quint	May 6th, 2008 04:12:48 PM
Indie doesn't mean low budget and it never has. It means independent financing was the money. It could be $1,000 borrowed from mom and pop or it could be millions from your own bank account, George Lucas style. It just means independent from the studio system.
Fly me to the moon... by thebearovingian	May 6th, 2008 04:59:48 PM
Sinatra, bitches!
Quint by BadMrWonka	May 6th, 2008 06:22:03 PM
you're right, of course, but just FYI. arguing with Danny is a bit like trying to teach your dog to use a computer...it doesn't matter how well or frequently you do it, it's a lost cause from the get-go...
Exactly BadMrWonka about Danny by Baddass	May 6th, 2008 07:12:43 PM
Yeah, and he and some others around here are one of the reasons this site is turning into what it has become. A less and less talkative place. Seems like all there are is kids playing here now a days and another reason why the main writers hardly ever answer questions in the talk backs now. Seems like either someone is posting that has nothing to do with the premise of the topic or promoting somethign for themselves, or hollering and screaming at each other with insults that make no sense whatsoever. I wish there was a way they could star banning people for doing some of these things, because honestly, Harry, Quint, Moriarty, you all are losing some major fans from your site and they are going else where do to the nonsense that takes place in the talk backs. And I am actually a person that likes to hear peopls opinions and speculations, just not children doing it.... Anthony
You were on the set a few months ago and we can expect a report by snomusic	May 6th, 2008 11:27:04 PM
Jeez - no wonder people gripe about this site being scooped all the time. IMDb lists this thing as being in post. Lame.
