Duncan Jones’s ‘Mute’ Film Gets a Release Date from Netflix

Duncan Jones, director of such fabulous cinematic offerings as Moon, has a new film project coming to Netflix. Mute is a British-German science-fiction mystery revolving around a mute bartender searching for the love of his life who has mysteriously disappeared.

The film stars Paul Rudd (sportin’ an amazing mustache), Alexander Skarsgard, and Justin Theroux. The public plot outline for Mute reads:

Berlin. Forty years from today. Leo Beiler, a mute bartender, searches for his missing girlfriend, Naadirah, in the rolling city of immigrants where two American surgeons are the only recurring clues.

Jones’s production company Man Made Movies posted these three images ahead of Netflix confirming the release date. Check them out:

Paul got rid of it as soon as the film was over. It had started hogging the limelight. Had its own groupies! “‘Stachies” I think they were called.

The Stache is now hosting an Amazon talkshow called “Face Time with Stache Rudd” https://t.co/YI7hxXH71K

Jones has said that this film is a “spiritual sequel” to Moon, and that maybe there will be a third film eventually. 

Part three of the Moon/Mute/? trilogy stars two sisters. Wax meant to be made before Warcraft but couldn’t get it financed. Still trying!
…next film Im writing now, is not part of trilogy, but DOES have female lead. https://t.co/TBTP3KryX8
