Mute Movie Review
Plot
Berlin. Forty years from today. A roiling city of immigrants, where East crashes against West. Leo Beiler, a mute bartender, has one reason and one reason only for living here, and she's disappeared. But when Leo's search takes him deeper into the city's underbelly, an odd pair of American surgeons seem to be the only recurring clue, and Leo can't tell if they can help, or who he should fear most.
Cast
Production
In November 2015, Jones announced that following Warcraft, he would direct the science fiction mystery thriller Mute, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Paul Rudd. The film was in development hell for many years but Jones always said he wished to direct it, and has described it as a "spiritual sequel" to Moon, heavily inspired by the 1982 Ridley Scott film Blade Runner. During the films development, Jones had expressed his desire for Sam Rockwell to reprise his role from Moon in a cameo appearance that was to act as an epilogue for the character, and that the film would be the second instalment in a trilogy consisting of Moon, Mute and yet to be announced third film. Jones confirmed on May 30, 2016 that filming is intended to begin at the end of 2016 in Berlin, which was again confirmed on his personal twitter where he showcased some concept art from the film. In October, 2016, Justin Theroux officially joined the cast, joining Skarsgård, Rudd, Noel Clarke and Florence Kasumba.
