10 Original Movies To Keep On Your Radar For The Rest Of 2017

3. Mute

Happy Death Day Baby Mask Killer
Netflix

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!
