More quotes by Duncan Jones
Bill Pearson is definitely a man to talk to, especially in the afternoon when he's had a couple of drinks because he's got so many stories and anecdotes.
Duncan Jones
One of the biggest changes for me on a practical level of shooting the film was having a second unit.
Duncan Jones
I'm not Akira Kurosawa. He used to write...He used to write a completely new spec script over a couple of nights. I'm not like that. It takes me a long time to put a film together that I want to make.
Duncan Jones
I've worked really hard to build up a career on my own. I turned 30 recently and it took me a long time to get the chance to make a feature film and do it on my own terms.
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
I played lots of games and I was a fan of gaming, so I was always looking for new games.
Duncan Jones
I'm a cruel man to myself.
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.

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
You are spending millions and millions of dollars of other peoples money when you make a movie. You have to at least approach it in a way where you can see how you can make that money back for the people who are investing.
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
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
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
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.
Duncan Jones
I want to have the illegitimate child of independent film making and the budget to make it. That's my aspiration.
Duncan Jones
We can't tell particularly smart stories if we want to keep our audience big enough to pay for these big spectacle films that we want to do.
Duncan Jones
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
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 do enjoy the puzzle-solving aspect of making a movie.
Duncan Jones
There is this whole level of communication that I think our generation and younger is used to that does have this weird effect on people. It creates a familiarity that is possibly not always justified. I think that's interesting and I think it's nice to be able to incorporate it into films, because most of us can relate to that now.
