Duncan Jones talks about Source Code and Judge Dredd

"While director Duncan Jones is in the middle of post-production on his latest feature "Source Code", he has enough time to sit down and chat about his career thus far. He's received critical acclaim for his wonderful work with the 2009 film "Moon". Sam Rockwell as Sam Bell in "Moon" (2009)

If you were fluttering around the Internet at any point early this year, people claimed that the feature did not get the Academy praise it deserved.

Well, Jones is back on the science fiction scene again with "Source Code".

The upcoming production stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier who wakes up only to find himself inside the body of a commuter who ends up witnessing a horrifying train explosion. Jones lets us in on when we should expect the tale to be out.

Well, I think it is safe to say that the film will be out early next year. My edit is complete, and we are working hard on visual effects, choosing a composer and trying the film out on a few people just to see how it goes over.
During the conversation, one of the things brought up was another film that Duncan is signed on for called "Mute". However, nobody really knew that at one point in time Jones could have been holding in his hands the script for a "Judge Dredd" movie.
I would have loved to do the Judge Dredd movie that is underway. I was in fact sent the script to look at. Its a great script, and I hope I will not rue the decision of passing on it. Thing was, I had such a strong idea of what I wanted to do with a Dredd movie, I could not bring myself to take it on and not do it my way! ... and it's not like I could do it as a sequel either; my Dredd would have been really weird, and dark and funny, but not your traditional introduction to a hero character. I don't even know if I could have made my version of the film pitch-able. It was maybe too off the wall". Source: www.latinoreview.com

Edgar Wright and Michael Cera talk about "Scott Pilgrim"

Cera: Why did you want me for the part?

Wright: Most of the time in both the book and the film, Scott Pilgrim is having a major meltdown because of the women in his life. His world is falling apart, and there are times when he’s not a nice guy, so we needed an actor audiences will still follow even when the character is being a bit of an ass. Also, you’re Canadian.
Cera: What’s that supposed to mean?

Wright: It’s about the sense of humor. A question I find interesting is when people ask me about British humor versus American humor. Simon Pegg and I were talking about how it’s not a matter of cultural references, it’s a point of view. You know, my sense of humor is British. But, Michael, can you pinpoint something that’s Canadian humor? Tone? State of mind? If I had to pinpoint something, and what typifies moments in the film, it’s that you’re seeing insane things happen and yet the humor is very laid-back. Your reaction undercuts what’s going on.

Cera: Stupid Canadian docility. You know, something that people might find interesting is all of the videogame effects you used as visuals—and music, too.

Wright: Those Nintendo games are classics—and people still play them, which is a testament to them being pieces of art. You’re so much younger than me, but Mario is a touchstone for both of us. And in this film we can do visuals that may seem pretty unconventional by Hollywood standards, and yet it doesn’t faze people at all because everyone knows what an extra life is. And there’s no blood or broken bones in this movie. It’s like a game. We had to use wind to show power.

Cera: That explains why I had that giant fan blowing in my eyes.

Wright: We had an air cannon aimed at you for those times in the film when your character gets hit—and remember the air cannon made a terrible noise? It goes POW!

Cera: It was like a cartoon.

Wright: You know, Kevin Smith has seen the movie and said your performance was like Bugs Bunny. It’s like you’ve got all these tricks up your sleeve and you just keep bouncing back. I would take that as a high compliment.

Cera: Oh, I do. Source: www.wired.com
