At least one Sundance title is arriving with one distributor, but may leave with two: Duncan Jones’ sci-fi psychological study Moon, starring Sam Rockwell as an isolated astronaut and the voice of Kevin Spacey as his robot companion.

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group owns the rights for all English-speaking territories, and Independent is repping other regions. SPWAG could conceivably release the Premieres section entry through any one of their own divisions, but the film is artier and more unconventional than most Sony fare, so they’re quietly looking for a theatrical distribution partner while retaining ancillary rights.

Reviews from advance screenings have been positive - Jones (son of the Space Oddity himself, David Bowie) seems born to the 2001-style material - and SPWAG is waiting for audience reaction at the film’s Friday night Eccles unveiling before making any decisions. Rockwell is the unofficial mascot of Sundance, appearing in at least five selections (plus one Slamdance) in the past three years, but none have scored at the boxoffice. Samuel Goldwyn often teams with SPWAG for releases, so if no bigger fish bite, it may have the inside track. Check out Kim Voynar's review on our Sundance blog.
