Where was Moon filmed?
- London, United Kingdom, London – Primary filming location for the lunar base interior and control room sequences. The film was shot almost entirely on a set built at Shepperton Studios, with the lunar base constructed as a practical set to create the isolated, claustrophobic atmosphere of the Moon station
- Cape Town, South Africa, Cape Town – Establishing shots and exterior lunar landscape sequences. The desolate landscape around Cape Town was used for filming the exterior lunar surface establishing shots and the barren, isolated visual aesthetic that reflects the Moon's environment
