10 Original Movies To Keep On Your Radar For The Rest Of 2017
3. Mute
Duncan Jones' Mute, much like David Ayer's Bright, looks to be a return to familiar territory after directing a critically panned, largely generic blockbuster - in Jones' case, that was 2016's Warcraft.
Both men are back-pedaling and going to direct movies more closely aligned with the success they found with their earlier projects, which can only be good news.
For Jones, that's thoughtful sci-fi, which, like the effort that put him on the map - Moon - is exactly what Mute is.
The movie will follow a (surprise!) mute bartender as he searches for answers following his wife's death. It's set forty years in the future and carries a shiny, neon-tinged aesthetic that's not unlike Ridley Scott's Blade Runner.
Mute is the only film on this list without a firm release date, though Duncan Jones has stated that it will launch in 2017 (on Netflix). So keep your eyes peeled!
