Duncan Jones’ ‘Mute’ is Connected to His Sci-fi Masterpiece, ‘Moon’
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.

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
