Is this the one that has a wood panneled space station. I may rent it at the red box..... It doesn't look very compelling though, to be honest. The sets and props that I saw from this looked cheap and thrown together out of a box of junk. That may have been the look they going for, but even in the 70's they 'tried' to make the future look 'high tech' in their films.
nope, that is not correc, I'm happy to say.
Though there is some of the classic/basement wood panelling used as design touches in the ship, that is certainly not the primary construction medium. The overall design ethic of the movie is "the future, as we imagined it in the seventies".
I worked on this film, and in fact I built the robot that is in the poster. The director handed me an OmniBot and said "Use this, but make it look different". lol. They had a bunch of gags they wanted three different robots to do, and each required major modifications and add-ons. For the one seen in the poster, I had to build a custom drive system that would allow him to be remote controlled.
I also built the robot hand that Matt Bomers character wears in the movie.
Here's a video that was on E! a while back that not only shows some of the sets from the movie, but also my RoboHand. lol
Space Station 76 on E! News (12/28/12) - YouTube
you can even see some of the wood panelling! lol.
The fact that Sony grabbed this up for distribution before it was screened at SXSW says a lot about the quality of the film, and the belief that it tells a good story. I'm super proud to have played a tiny part in its creation, and can't wait for it to hit theaters.
And for the record, Bomer is a super cool guy
