[i]It took roughly eight years from the time President John F. Kennedy announced that America would be entering the space race to the day that Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon. It may take that long until director Doug Liman gets to join him. "I want to have a locked script before I start shooting. That's my goal," Liman recently told MTV News of the long gestating "Moon" project he's been developing with Jake Gyllenhaal, which just recently picked up a new writer. Which means it's back to the drawing board, at least in part. But while Liman is keeping plot details a secret (they may change anyway), he's certain the patriotic tone of the movie will remain consistent with his current vision. "It's a celebration of America. Even though it's a present day story it's a celebration of the fact that in 1969 we sent a man to the moon," Liman enthused. "Just think about what a car in 1969 looked like! It's insane that we pulled that off. No other country on the planet could have done something that great."[/i]
[i]Up-and-coming scribe Dan Mazeau has been hired to redraft the action film about lunar colonization that is slated to star Jake Gyllenhaal. Doug Liman, who will direct the film, wrote an original screenplay with John Hamburg ("Along Came Polly"). "Black Hawk Down" author Mark Bowden revamped that script. Now Mazeau is on board to try to bring it in for a landing with a different take "based on an original story by Liman, Bowden and Simon Kinberg," according to the studio.[/i]
