Duncan Jones’ Mute Will Be The Second Film In A Planned Trilogy

Warcraft: The Beginning looks like it’s turning out to be a bit of a bomb, but director Duncan Jones isn’t letting that get to him. The promising filmmaker, who also gave us excellent sci-fi efforts like Moon and Source Code has turned his attention towards Mute, a movie that he’s been trying to make for a very long time now.

In a recent interview with Indiewire, Jones spoke about his desire to bring the project to fruition, revealing that it will be the second film in a planned trilogy, with the aforementioned Moon being the first. Jones said “I’ve always wanted to make Mute, I’ve been on Mute for about 14 years. I’m determined, no matter what happens, I’m going to get that movie made, at some point”

The director went on to say that the next film in the trilogy is ready to go as well and will boast a female lead. He said “It’s ready to go, I was trying to make it after Source Code. It’s a female lead, and at that time, four of five years ago, it was just proving really difficult to get the film made, this science fiction film with a female lead. Mute‘s kind of happening now, so I’m going to do that, and then, with any luck, I’ll be able to get this other film made that will make up the third part of that trilogy, as soon as possible”.
