'Jumper' Director Doug Liman Talks About Upcoming 'Untitled Moon Project'

Posted by Cricou 145 days ago
While being interviewed to promote his just released film 'Jumper', director Doug Liman at the end of the interview spoke a bit about his supposed next upcoming film starring Jake Gyllenhaal called Untitled Moon Project.

"CS: What's next for you? The writers' strike is over, and while I assume you want to rest because this has been a long journey, do you think you'll jump right into "Untitled Moon Project" next and will you actually go to the moon to stay in line with how you made this movie?

Liman: Yeah, I'm thinking very seriously about that film, and I basically have two approaches to it. The movie would cost about $100 million to make, so how much would it cost to actually go to the moon and make an IMAX documentary instead? Could I spend $99 million going to the moon and a million dollars shooting an IMAX movie or is it going to be a fictional story. I think ultimately, it's going to be cheaper to make the movie than to physically go (to the moon). "

Another interview with Liman from UGO talking about his just released Jumper film, and also on his upcoming Untitled Moon Project:

"UGO: What can you tell me about your upcoming moon colonization project?

DL: It's with Jake Gyllenhaal. We're still in development on it. It's a script I wrote about ten years ago. I think the greatest accomplishment in our lifetime really was the Apollo program. And rather than just tell a history of the first lunar landing, I want to make it relevant to a young audience by having the group today recreate what the Apollo program did forty years ago. "
