Moon (2009)

I loved this movie, can't wait for the dvd!

:confusedYou do know it has been out for a very long time? Or do you mean that you just got it?

Been looking for it ever since I first saw it, some friends had us round , they had rented it, but it seems not to be in the shops here. I'll check out ebay.
 
Every now and then Gavin Rothery (who pretty much designed everything for the film) will post little gems on his blog. He also has a Moon specific blog though I'm not sure if this is still updated.

Some very nice resources though including lots of (if not all?) the patches:

"Making of Moon" Blog - Lunar Industries Mission*Badges

That page also includes this explanation for 'HELUIM':

I should point out that these badges contain NO TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS WHATSOEVER. In the Moon universe, Helium 3 was renamed as a commercial fuel source so it could be copyrighted and Lunar Industries did this by swapping the "U" and "I" around so "Helium" became "Heluim". This way they could claim ownership of the material and control supply. This was a legal "fast-move" they pulled before they commenced their Lunar operations which allowed them to create an instant monopoly and become the largest corporation the world has ever seen, having full control of over 97% of the earth's energy supply. This is why the badge below says "Heluim" and not "Helium".​

He also rather eloquently makes his feelings clear on people selling anything made from his artwork in the last paragraph...

But have a browse through the other parts of the moon blog. There's all sorts of stills from screens etc. in there.

Hope that helps!
 
No problem :) - if anyone's on twitter, both Duncan Jones (@manmademoon) and Gavin Rothery (@gavrov) share little behind the scenes insights every now and then as well as glimpses into new projects.
