Netflix to debut Mute
And it will get a limited theatrical release it seems.
Filming started yesterday, very excited for this!
Same.
I've only just learnt about this today but rewatched Moon last week by chance. This looks awesome

I am noticing a pattern with rising directors and Netflix. Duncan Jones is the third director that recently made big-budget studio film, Warcraft, and then moved onto Netflix. It surprised me that David Ayer's next movie Bright was going to Netflix instead of working with Warner Bros. again. Then it made complete sense when I saw Suicide Squad. Suicide Squad felt it wasn't the vision that David Ayer had planned and now Netflix is going to give him creative freedom. While Snowpiercer is still one of my favourites, that movie has a history of the director fighting against MGM for trying to cut down the movie. This is why Bong Joon-Ho, the director, went with Netflix for Okja.
It seems like Netflix sucking all of the big rising directors because it offers them the chance to do something unique and creative and not follow a studio's guideline.
You are right about Ayers and Suicide Squad. He wanted a dark version and filmed it that way. These guys were supposed to be over the top crazies but in a scrary way. Then the critics blasted BvsS for it 's somber unrlenting tone ,amongst other things.WB got cold feet and stepped in to add more scenes of humorous zaniness and take out scenes that were too dramatically dark in tone. This is how the Joker's part was cut down to almost nothing. Ayer had featured the Joker a lot more ,as a wildly craz but in a scary way. Due to these with cuts and additions the story lost most of its cohesion and the squad lost much of its characterizations. Critics tromped on it anyhow. But audiences didn't care what the critics said, WB should have left Ayers alone to make the movie he had invisioned and filmed.
shareThe lack of Joker seriously bothered me about the movie. I really wanted to see fully what Leto's and Ayer's vision was for the character. Also, I felt that Warcraft was missing some key pivotal scenes that would of helped with character motivation.
