Duncan Jones, son of the late David Bowie, is a week out from starting production on his next feature, he shared on Twitter.

Mute, which Indiewire explains has been a passion project 12 years in the making, is described as a sci-fi Casablanca set in Berlin 40 years in the future.

Written by Jones and Mike Johnson, Mute stars Alexander Skarsgård as Leo Beiler, a mute bartender who goes on a journey into the underbelly of the city to figure out what happened to his missing partner. During his trip he meets a pair of American surgeons, one of them portrayed by Paul Rudd.

Sam Rockwell, who starred in Jones’ 2009 feature directorial debut Moon, will also have a small part on the film.

Speaking of, when asked if there was a connection to Moon, Jones confirmed that it lives in the same world.

Moon, which Bloody Disgusting broke the news on back in 2008, follows Astronaut Sam Bel (Rockwell) who has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period.

Following in the wake of Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse getting their own horror movies, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid is the next to get the twisted treatment.

Originally published in 1837, the original tale of The Little Mermaid is now in the public domain, and MSR Media International presents their own horror version of the tale this year.

The Little Mermaid is being distributed by Grindstone Entertainment Group, and the film has officially been rated “R” this week for “Language, some violence and brief nudity.”

In the film from director Leigh Scott, “Dr. Eric Prince, an archaeologist, makes a dramatic discovery on a small Caribbean island—proof of an ancient, advanced prehistoric society. While his dig is in progress, he meets the mysterious and beautiful Aurora Bey and falls in love. Her arrival coincides with several mermaid sightings and strange disappearances.

“When Eric’s friend and mentor, Dr. Ashley, arrives on the island, Ashley uncovers the true identity of Aurora and the dangers of the hidden evil inside Eric’s dig site. Will Eric heed his friend’s advice, or will he be blinded by love and the power of the siren, allowing the world to fall to the forces of evil?”

Lydia Helen, Mike Markoff and Jeff Denton star in The Little Mermaid.

You can watch the trailer now over on MSR Media International’s website.
