Now Playing: Mute - Official Trailer

A synopsis has also been released, which reads: "Berlin, the future, but close enough to feel familiar: In this loud, often brutal city, Leo (Alexander Skarsgård)--unable to speak from a childhood accident--searches for his missing girlfriend, the love of his life, his salvation, through dark streets, frenzied plazas, and the full spectrum of the cities shadow-dwellers.

"As he seeks answers, Leo finds himself mixed up with Cactus Bill (Paul Rudd) and Duck (Justin Theroux), a pair of irreverent US army surgeons on a mission all their own. This soulful sci-fi journey from filmmaker Duncan Jones imagines a world of strange currencies in which echoes of love and humanity are still worth listening to."

Jones previously revealed that Mute is part of a trilogy, alongside Moon, his highly acclaimed 2009 debut, and an as-yet-unmade third movie. It has been in development for many years; back in 2010, Jones revealed that Sam Rockwell, the star of Moon, would reprise his role in Mute. While it is unknown whether Rockwell does cameo in Mute, we do know that the film references the events of Moon.
