This is turning out to be a banner week for Duncan Jones. The Moon and Source Code director is finally set to unveil the trailer for his first major studio film, Warcraft, this coming Friday, although you can look at a teaser here. And now he's landed two stars for his sci-fi project, Mute, which he's been hoping to get off the ground for years.
According to Screen Daily, Paul Rudd and Alexander Skarsgard are set to star in the Blade Runner-esque film, which is "set in a tumultuous Berlin 40 years from now overrun by immigrants where a mute bartender encounters an odd pair of American surgeons in his search for his missing love." Skarsgard will be playing the mute bartender while Rudd, who is coming off Ant-Man and will appear in Captain America: Civil War, is one of the surgeons.
So this is finally happening, and it will be good to see Jones take on something more personal after the massive Warcraft effort.
