Not only are we getting David Bruckner’s The Ritual, but Netflix is planning to release Moon director Duncan Jones‘ Mute on the streaming service next month! It was announced recently that the film, which stars Alexander Skarsgård as a mute bartender goes up against his city’s gangsters in an effort to find out what happened to his missing partner, will stream on Netflix this coming February 23, 2018.
Empire shared this new neon-drenched photo from Mute, which is set in the near-future where Leo (Skarsgård) is a bartender living in the pulsing city of Berlin. Because of a childhood accident, Leo lost the ability to speak and the only good thing in his life is his beautiful girlfriend Naadirah (Seyneb Saleh). When she vanishes without a trace, Leo’s search for her takes him deep into the city’s seedy underbelly. A pair of wise-cracking American surgeons (Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux) are the only recurring clue and Leo is forced to take on this teeming underworld in order to find his love.
The Netflix original film is directed by Duncan Jones and written by Jones and Michael Robert Johnson. Stuart Fenegan serves as producer and Charles J.D. Schissel and Trevor Beattie serve as executive producers.
