This is written by David Peoples, the guy who wrote Blade Runner and Twelve Monkeys.
It stars the inimitable Rutger Hauer and my teenage crush, Joan Chen.
It's a very low-budget film with no real special effects but it's a well played take on the Rollerball idea - a brutal futuristic sport. And Rutger Hauer is as magnetic as ever.
It's another one ripe for remaking. Maybe when I'm done with Mute and M, I'll take a look at it. My first film that doesn't begin with 'M'...
Moon opens on Friday 17 July. Read the Total Film review here.

Saw a preview and Q&A at the BFI last week. Great little film, looks amazing considering budget was a little over 2 million quid... has some smarts too. Whilst homaging nearly every great sci-fi film of the last 40 years it manages to add it's own, clever take on the genre.
