Mute, the new film from Duncan Jones looks set to be heading to Netflix for a day and date release with it also screening in cinemas in order for it to qualify for awards season next year.
Alexander Skarsgård, who will star in the film, was speaking on the Empire podcast.
“It’s about a guy who was in an accident as a kid,” Skarsgård said on the podcast. “He’s ex-Amish, so he lives a very monastic life: he doesn’t have a cellphone or anything like that. He’s left the [Amish] community but he still kinda follows the rules.”
The film is said to be a spiritual sequel to Jones’ 2009 sci-fi Moon where Skarsgård plays a mute bartender living 40 years in the future, who is trying to find his missing girlfriend in Berlin.
Shooting officially kicked off this week.
Skarsgård can be seen next in War On Everyone, which is released next Friday.
