Duncan Jones Meets With WETA To Discuss His Third Sci-Fi Flick. Yes.

Duncan Jones is one of my favorite up and coming directors. Moon is one of my favorite movies of the past five years, and Source Code was enjoyable. What I’m now sweating is what Jones has been calling his ‘homage to Blade Runner’, talking about it even before making Source Code.

Recently Jones met with WETA to discuss this third flick of his.

I’m damp.

Slashfilm:

Jones revealed these nuggets of information in a Skype  interview with DIY  (with a heads up from  Film School Rejects). Here’s what he said about the sci-fi film:

I can say that it is a science fiction film, and potentially… I’ll take a break from sci-fi after this film. Moon was done at a tiny budget and we really squeezed everything we could out of it. Source Code was a chance to work on a bigger budget with name actors, but on a project that wasn’t my own. Hopefully, this third film will be the kind of sci-fi I want to make, on a budget where I can afford to do it as I see it in my head. After that, I’ll change genres.

If the film really is going to be a bigger sci-fi film, he’s going to need effects, and who better now than WETA to do that? Here’s what Jones said about a recent meeting:

My producer and I travelled to New Zealand to visit the guys at WETA. We had an amazing experience. They’re the best in the world, and when you get the chance to meet them, and see how they do it, it’s not just a company — they have a community of people who love film, and are amazing at it. I feel I would be privileged to get the chance to work with WETA so hopefully that will happen.

My lord. Jones and WETA? Working together? The underpants tighten, the mind boggles.
