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.
