Duncan Jones really can’t wait to make his next picture.
The “Moon,” director has been on a tear discussing the villains of his next sci-fi film, “Mute” – which he now amusingly describes as his “love letter to ‘Blade Runner.’ ” And it’s not like he’s trying to sell the thing, it’s already set to be his next project. Gotta love unbridled enthusiasm.
“They’re a pair of buddies. They’re kind of like; you know the Paul Rudd film, “I Love You, Man’? It’s basically like the anti-, the antithesis of that is what if two buddies were such good buddies but were the most diabolical bastards they possibly could be. That’s who these villains are.”
Some have been positing that with 10 Oscar noms this year, “Moon,” could be one of them and no disrespect to the film, which is a nice addition to the modern sci-fi cannon, but sorry, no. Not gonna happen. Jones has already said, his “Moon” star Sam Rockwell, will appear briefly in “Mute” just to tie his universe together. It makes sense, Rockwell was one of the firs actors he approached to play one of the aforementioned malefactors. [DigitalSpy]
