It would kind of be like if The Fifth Element had just never been in theaters. It’s really tricky. It’s been an emotional, trying few years for Duncan Jones. Netflix has put some stuff on Blu-ray, like Daredevil. I don’t want to hang out with these people.” You keep peeling and you keep peeling and you’re like, holy fuck, why did I like these people? So what do you want to do going forward? Mute, the spiritual sequel to Moon, was a long-gestating and personal passion project for Jones—trapped in a development hell that can haunt some filmmakers for much of their careers. It’s gone. There’s always been a confidence to him that kind of seems missing this time – not that he’s not confident in what he’s made (though, he very clear he knows Mute isn’t for everyone) but just more this feels like a director who has been through the emotional ringer and is just putting himself out there to see what happens.
Set in the same universe as Moon, Mute is not a traditional film in any sense of the word and it’s certainly a story traditional studios aren’t going to jump at the chance of making. Web design by Pro Blog Design. I’m the grownup now. For 16 years that answer was “Mute.” Now that Mute exists, he’s just not sure and he is someone who is wrestling with the way the system currently works: Mute finally exists, but it won’t play in big theaters.

What Does It Take To Reopen A Hotel During The Pandemic? That’s just the truth of the matter. All names, trademarks and images are copyright their respective owners. (To sum Mute up in one word, it’s insane.) It’s ‘70s thrillers. Mute has more in common with Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H. (Yes, really.) Having seen Mute, it now makes a lot more sense why it was so hard for Jones to get this film made, even with a pedigree that includes the beloved Moon and the crowd-pleasing Source Code. And allowing filmmakers to make stuff that doesn’t really fit into the studio machine. Having seen Mute, it now makes a lot more sense why it was so hard for Jones to get this film made, even with a pedigree that includes the beloved Moon and the crowd-pleasing Source Code. Professionally, Jones spent three and a half years making Warcraft, an expensive and ambitious fantasy film that just didn’t catch on with American audiences – an experience that was, as Jones puts it, “soul crushing.” Personally, Jones lost his father, David Bowie, in 2016.
Moon was such a low-budget film, we would be able to make it without a studio involved at all. I’m working it out. Source Code is a tricky one.
Because that would undermine getting a subscription. You set up these expectations of who these people are, and over the course of the film you start to say, “Oh, these really cool guys that I wish I could hang out with? So that part of it is not ideal. A journalist known as the maverick of news media defiantly chases the truth in this series adaptation of the hit movie of the same name.
And I absolutely love that film. The question is, does Mute satisfy on any level?
Yes. It just doesn’t seem likely. I really don’t know. ScriptShadow has a review of the screenplay for. Did you like your experience making a huge studio movie with Warcraft? When his girlfriend vanishes, a mute man ventures into a near-future Berlin's seamy underworld, where his actions speak louder than words. Jones had commented on Twitter that he decided to put Mute on hold because he got an offer he couldn’t refuse, and that Mute is a “hard sell” in this economy.
And maybe Casablanca is some ways. I don’t think we’re going to get the chance to make another one anytime soon. Videos Mute. And I know it did really well internationally but didn’t catch on domestically.

Alexander Skarsgård, Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux star in this futuristic thriller from director Duncan Jones ("Moon"). It’s weird that after all these years you’ve only made four feature films…. Jones has often compared the project to Blade Runner, but Reeves claims that the decision to set the film in the future does nothing to the story, and purely only a visual change. It was a big deal for us. Mute (Trailer) More Details. Charged as a teen in the 1993 killing of a Boston cop, Sean K.

And I know there will be people out there who either hate it or just not know how to approach it. So, I’m really grateful that if there are people out there who do appreciate it and I’m very appreciative of people supporting it vocally.

You can’t bring that into a big studio and kind of expect them to sign on the dotted line. I mean, be careful about how you write this article up as far as revealing how things go, but there’s a lot of stuff that makes this film what it is that makes it very difficult for a studio to understand why they would want to make it. You get it. If you don’t have a subscription, you can’t see the film. So for me, it’s that kind of a one-two punch. Jones is an incredibly gifted filmmaker who is at a crossroads, and we will just have to wait and see where that takes him. Is it weird this movie took so long to make they actually made another Blade Runner? I’m sorry you had to go through that, too. It would be kind of like if The Fifth Element was never in theaters.

It’s Paul Schrader’s Hardcore. Executive-produced by his sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo. Alexander Skarsgård,Paul Rudd,Justin Theroux. You get it. You mention your dad and the woman who raised you. And I think that’s what Source Code was.
