“For me, two of my favourite science fiction films are Blade Runner, which is fantastic, and Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys. Both of those were smart science fiction films hitting more of a medium budget, and I desperately hope there is an audience for that kind of film because I would love that to be my next film, on that kind of scale.” KindTwoFilmNextFictionAudienceSmartScience FictionScalesMediumsFantasticBudgetsTwelveFavouriteHittingRunnersMonkeysBladesBlade Runner Author:Duncan Jones
“Obviously, there's a big homage to Outland in Moon. I obviously had Ridley Scott's response, which was great. But Peter Hyams really loved Moon and was really enthusiastic about it. He was also enthusiastic about the fact we'd remembered Outland and had remembered it fondly. I think, for him, it was like some kind of edification that there were people out there who loved his film. So, that was a really lovely feeling.” PeopleThinkingKindFactsFeelingsBigsFilmMoonResponseLovelyRememberedPeterEnthusiasticHomageEdification Author:Duncan Jones

“We rehearsed for a bit for an Indie film, which is kind of unusual, we had a week of rehearsals before we actually shot the films so we were able to really break down the script and kind of work through all of the improvisational things that he wanted to do, so he had a chance to really feel his way through before we actually shot it and I think that helped a lot.” ThinkingWayFeelsKindAbleWantedFilmBitsChanceBreakWeekShotsScriptsUnusualBreaking DownRehearsalIndie Films Author:Duncan Jones
“I think that I would like to have that kind of a budget [hundreds millions dollars] and I think the reasons for it are it gives you more time and it gives you the opportunity to be more ambitious with what you want to do with the camera and also how a scene works.

“My biggest difference with our film and those kinds of science fiction films is that they are going from one special effect set piece to the next, what we were doing was more of a character study. And I think that is the freedom that you get by doing an Indie film. You can only really do that with a lower budget. So I understand where the conflict is between those two priorities.” ThinkingKindTwoCharacterFilmNextDifferencesFictionStudyPiecesSpecialEffectsConflictScience FictionPrioritiesBudgetsSpecial EffectsIndie Films Author:Duncan Jones
“In my opinion, having worked in the games industry and still keeping in touch with a lot of those guys, there was definitely a time when they saw themselves as the little brother of the film industry. But they kind of went off in a different direction and now see themselves, I think, as being far more interesting and ahead of the film industry. They haven't just caught up. They've gone off in a different direction and exceeded the film industry.” ThinkingKindDifferentFilmGuyInterestingOpinionBrotherCaught UpLittle Brother Author:Duncan Jones
