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

Brad Miska

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.
