MOONWALKERS

MOONWALKERS
by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet
Country: France, Belgium
Year: 2015
Duration: 96'


In late 1960s London, crazier and more swinging than ever, CIA agent Tom Kidman, a resolute man of integrity, has to contact Stanley Kubrick. The American government has assigned him to convince the famous director to shoot a few sequences of a fake moon landing. Unfortunately, Kidman turns to Jonny, the weird manager of an unsuccessful rock band, thinking the man is close to Kubrick. At stake are a suitcase full of money and an epic hoax to pull off.

Declaration

film director

“I enjoy situations where two opposite characters must join forces to accomplish a common goal as it leads to the most hilarious conflicts. So I came up with the idea of Moonwalkers: sending a CIA agent right in the middle of Swinging London to shoot a fake moon landing with a bunch of hippies that he would naturally hate. This mix instantly has great comedic potential. This world is peppered with endearingly stupid characters like The Big Lebowski and a good mix of action throughout like Snatch.”
