What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was shot in 33 days.
  • According to director Duncan Jones, the film was shown to some NASA specialists who inquired why the mining of H3 (helium-3) gas was conducted on the far side of the Moon when there is more of it on the near side. The choice of the far side of the Moon for gas extraction was explained by concerns about harming living organisms.
  • Scenes on the lunar surface were filmed using miniature models. Filming took more than three days.
  • The film was shot during a screenwriters' strike, which halted many other projects. Director Duncan Jones says that thanks to the lull, he was able to assemble a team of first-rate special effects artists.
  • The song that plays on Sam's alarm clock is a 1991 single by British performer Chesney Hawks — "The One and Only".
  • The name "SARANG" translates from Korean as "Love".
  • For entertainment, the main character watches the black and white comedy series "Bewitched" (1964-1972).
  • Four mining modules are named after the authors of the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
  • Jones and his team didn't have enough money even for remote control models; they literally pulled their lunar rovers along with a string. They then had to clean the fishing line on a computer.
  • The yellow suit, which Sam-2 speaks so highly of ("Thank you for the suit! It's great! Comfortable."), is actually a MusucBag sleeping bag.
  • The composition "Downfall" by the Canadian electro-industrial group Front Line Assembly uses a fragment from the film's soundtrack, as well as a scene of a decommissioned clone being destroyed in an incinerator.
  • The film features a scene where the protagonist observes Earth from the window of a rover, although the plot states that the station is located on the far side of the Moon. According to the director (in the film's commentary), this is because Sam traveled so far from the station for direct communication with Earth that he found himself on the visible side of the Moon. At the station on the far side of the Moon, direct communication was jammed by the "Lunar" company's equipment.
  • The song that plays on Sam's alarm clock is the 1991 single by British performer Chesney Hawkes—"The One and Only".
  • The name "SARANG" translates to "Love" from Korean.
  • Jones and his team didn't have enough money even for radio-controlled models; they literally pulled their moon buggies along with a string. The fishing line then had to be cleaned up on the computer.
  • The yellow suit, which Sam-2 speaks so highly of ("Thank you for the suit! Great thing! Comfortable."), is actually a MusucBag sleeping bag.
  • There is an episode in the film where the main character observes Earth from the rover's window, although the plot states that the station is located on the far side of the Moon. According to the director (in a commentary to the film), this is because Sam traveled so far from the station to establish direct communication with Earth that he ended up on the visible side of the Moon. At the station on the far side of the Moon, direct communication was jammed by equipment from the "Lunar" company.
