Mute Movie – Duncan Jones Interview. Duncan Jones, the director of the much buzzed about Moon movie, is already working on his second film for which he is reportedly being paid the very A-List amount of US$25 million. Wow. Just wow.
The movie is about the mysterious disappearance of a woman who …. well, let’s have the director tell us more about it. From his interview with io9:
Speaking of Ridley Scott, you mentioned earlier a desire to make a Blade Runner-esque sequel set in a futuristic Berlin. Can you tell us more about that?
I still want to do that film, and I’m still hoping to do it, and have it be the next film I do. It’s not Blade Runner 2. I have no claim on that at all. The only reason that I mention Blade Runner is because there’s something about that particular film, where they really created a believable and realistic living breathing futuristic world. For all of the other films that have tried to do that I don’t think anything has come as close the way Blade Runner has to creating something believable. Something that feels real and organic. It’s like going to a real city and shooting a film there. You just get a sense that this place exists. [In] most of the science fiction films, it always feels a bit fake and a bit flat, but Blade Runner really didn’t. That’s the aspect of Blade Runner I’m hoping to capture. If and when I get the chance to do my film that I’m making.
