More quotes by Duncan Jones
I think we tried to make a film [Moon] that was about human beings as opposed to going from one special effects set piece to the next one, which is what a lot of science fiction films these days do.
Duncan Jones
I've been working my way to doing my first feature film for about ten years. So I went through the commercials route and some people come from a theatrical background and some people come from a writing background, but I directed commercials

I think I was brought up with games and I don't think that they're just Pac-Man or Space Invaders. I think we've moved on, I think that there are stories being told and worlds being explored.
Duncan Jones
I do enjoy the puzzle-solving aspect of making a movie.
Duncan Jones
I played lots of games and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games.

Every time you want to reset your set and pull walls out and reset the lighting, you're burning up half an hour to an hour, and when you're trying to keep to a schedule, you're constantly having to reassess what's worth it and what you're going to have to give up in order to keep on schedule.

Sam Rockwell has a fantastic sense of rhythm.

You go through different stages when you're working on the music in film. At least, I do. You have a temp score, so you have music from other people, usually from other movies, to give you a sense of what the mood is supposed to be, what the atmosphere is.
Duncan Jones
Every film I try and make it the way I see it in my head, and it really just depends on the script and the people I'm working with or whatever interests me at that particular time.
Duncan Jones
When we first made this whole idea this was going to be calling card film [Moon] and it was going to give the opportunity to make my first feature film. But it turned out a lot better, we just couldn't stop ourselves from going into it, and we are very proud that it turned into something that people wanted to see.
Duncan Jones
Fantasy films tend to skew towards what Tolkien fantasy was, which is that the humans, the Hobbits and the cute creatures are the good guys, and everything that's ugly are the bad guys.
Duncan Jones
I think that idea of being far away from the people that you love is something that everyone can relate to.
Duncan Jones
Here in the UK the audience immediately reacts and they get the fact that: What would be the most annoying thing in the world? A Chesney Hawkes alarm clock!
Duncan Jones
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.
Duncan Jones
There are things which need to be shown in the trailer in order to let the audience know what kind of film it is that they're going to be expecting to see.

Life and career kind of catches up with you.

I really don't see CG as a goal in its own right. I really do believe it's a tool. In the advertising industry I did a fair amount of CG, so I appreciate it for the tool that it is, and I think technologically where it's at now, you really can achieve most of your visual goals with either it or a mixture of it and practical effects.
Duncan Jones
And as a first time director I needed to work with someone that I felt comfortable with, and that I could get along with. It was a perfect match [with Sam Rockwell] I am so thrilled I got to work with him. He is a really nice and incredible guy.
Duncan Jones
I want to do my Blade Runner, which is like a future Berlin film, which is like a thriller, but it's much deeper characters, I think.
Duncan Jones
One of the biggest changes for me on a practical level of shooting the film was having a second unit.
