As the director of Moon, one of our favourite sci-fi films this year, any news about Duncan Jones projects is greeted with whooping and cheering throughout the Empire office. Today we were greeted with a piece concept art released on his production company's website Liberty Films, showing us a hint of what his next sci-fi film Mute will hold, with definite hints of Blade Runner (Jones' favourite sci-fi film) in his version of a futuristic Berlin.

Reunited with his usual writing partner Mike Johnson (who was busy during Moon and replaced by Nathan Parker), Jones' plot revolves around a mute bartender who is abducted whilst looking for his girlfriend, with the bad guys being two comedians. Honest.

The date for release is a long way off being confirmed but we can tell you that shooting will begin in Berlin early next year.

The concept art is really similar to Syd Mead's work on Blade Runner. Lets hope its as good as the Moon, the plot sounds intriguing.

weird plot but it'll be a day one for me, I ****ing LOVED moon.
 
I miss the traditional pre-90s film making myself, even thought I'm working on modern film making...
 
i never really liked this cyberpunk style. but might be worth a look.
 
Is Moon out on dvd or anything yet? I want to see it badly, but its not playing anywhere around me.
 
US doesn't have a listed release date anywhere, but hopefully it's the same one. I need to get a copy of this movie.
