Not only are we getting “Altered Carbon” and David Bruckner’s The Ritual, but Netflix will release Moon director Duncan Jones‘ Mute on the streaming service February 23, 2018!
The film stars Alexander Skarsgård as a mute bartender who goes up against his city’s gangsters in an effort to find out what happened to his missing partner, and Netflix shared the first trailer that’s a neon-soaked dream.
Mute is set in the near-future where Leo (Alexander 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.
Jones, the son of David Bowie, has become a filmmaker fav of the community, directing Moon, Source Code, and even Warcraft.
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.
