After a little bit of a misstep with Warcraft, director Duncan Jones has a brand new film that he’s describing as a successor to his debut Moon.
To be clear, I kind of liked Warcraft, and it made a lot of money in China. Nonetheless, most critics hated it, and the movie bombed within the U.S.
And whether or not you appreciated Warcraft or not, Mute appears to be like like Jones’ return to a extra cerebral and private strategy to science fiction. He not too long ago tweeted that he sees the film as his Don Quixote, one thing he’s been hoping to make since 2003.
He additionally credited Netflix for taking an old-school strategy: “Don’t make four quad ‘please everybody’ homogenous blobs! Make movies filmmakers are keen about & let the viewers discover them!”
The primary trailer reveals only a few glimpses of Mute‘s futuristic Berlin, the place Alexander Skarsgard (taking part in the mute bartender who provides the movie its title) searches for his lacking girlfriend and crosses paths with colourful characters performed by Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux (sporting some superb wigs and facial hair).
Mute will probably be launched on Netflix on February 23.
