Mini-Disc Video Player M046

A prop made ‘mini-disc player’ used in the 2009 sci-fi film Moon directed by Duncan Jones. The gadget is actually a digital alarm clock which has a mini-disc case attached to the side with a disc inside to make it look like a mini-disc player. It can be seen during the two Sam's argument as 'Walking on Sunshine' plays over the top. Measures 8cm x 7.5cm (3.25” x 3”)

This item comes complete with a special Moon C.O.A which is signed by Duncan Jones (Director), Stuart Fenegan (Producer) & Stephen Lane (CEO Prop Store)
