The First News And Views Of Duncan Jones’s Mute

Looks like Duncan Jones, he of Moon fame, has started pre production work on “Mute”, his Blade Runner inspired Sci-Fi that will be set in future Berlin(!).

From Liberty Films, Duncan’s production company, comes this concept art shot, showing a rain soaked and shiny street where a Blade Runnerish hover car awaits a group of black clad Sci-Fi hipsters, striking dangerous poses in the neon light.  Liberty Films has booked a major Berlin studio already. We’re happy.

Mute is about a mute bartender looking for his missing girlfriend in future Berlin. It seems the villians will be a comedy duo. Reminds me kind of the bad guy duos in Diamonds Are Forever or the fantastically bad duo, Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar, in the hopefully soon to be a major motion picture, Neil Gaimen’s Neverwhere, a book you need to go and buy right this very minute.
