FILM 1760: MUTE

TRIVIA: According to Duncan Jones, this movie is the first project he suggested to Sam Rockwell, but it was considered too big and thus Moon (2009) was made as the first movie.

The Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux roles are inspired and influenced by the Trapper John and Hawkeye Pierce characters from M.A.S.H. (1970), originally played by Elliott Gouldand Donald Sutherland.

David Hasselhoff is on the currency in the scene when Paul Rudd's character pays the babysitter.

Before the end credits roll, there is a dedication to the memory of the director's father David Jones (aka David Bowie) and his beloved nanny Marion Skene.

The film has been described by Duncan Jones as a "spiritual sequel" to his 2009 film Moon(2009)

Easter Egg: Sam Bell from Moon can be seen in news report on telly when Cactus visits café.

The knife that Paul Rudd's character uses is called a Bowie knife. Named after the 19th-century American pioneer James "Jim" Bowie for whom it was created, the director, Duncan Jones' famous singer father, David Bowie actually took his stage name from him/it.

The opening music to the film is an orchestral arrangement (by Philip Glass) of the song 'Heroes'; a song originally written and performed by David Bowie. David Bowie is Director Duncan Jones' father.
