According to MTV, Sam Rockwell (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) has been cast in a new sci-fi movie called Moon.
‘I’m doing a sci-fi movie where I’m stranded on the moon for three years,’ explained a bewhiskered Rockwell at the Sundance Film Festival. ‘That’s why I have the beard.’
The project will be directed by former advertising executive Duncan Jones aka Zowie Bowie, son of legendary musician David Bowie. Jones’ controversial advertising campaign for the French Connection fashion label in 2006, which featured two girls (representing fashion and style) fighting and briefly kissing each other drew a number of complaints.
Filming on Moon is slated to commence in the UK between January and March 2008.

Variety reports that Val Kilmer will replace Will Arnett as the voice of KITT in NBC’s Knight Rider revival, due to a conflict of commercial interests.
Arnett (Arrested Development) had already completed his part for the pilot, which is slated to debut on NBC on Sunday, February 17 at 9/8c. For the better part of a decade, however, Arnett has done voice-over work for General Motors — as the voice of GMC Trucks. NBC’s new Knight, however, is ‘played’ by a Ford Mustang.

I am a little leary of the situation. The truth will come out when, and if the US economy, and the dollar begins to strengthen. If prices remain high, you’ll know someone is lying. Either OPEC doesn’t have the supply they claim they have, or Analysts are incorrect when they say demand has decreased. Personally, I don’t buy the claim that demand has decreased. Population is ever increasing, so, the the demand should always be increasing.
