It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since we had our first look at Duncan Jones new movie Mute but this first trailer is really impressive, and sets us off into a world with all kinds of neo-noir mystery. It premieres on Netflix from 23 February, and stars Alexander Skarsgård, Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux.

This tightly-knit ball of intrigue is surely a clear indication of Netflix’s continual rise from a simple streaming service, to series producers, film creators and beyond. With the likes of Alex Garland’s Annihilation also coming up this year, there could be a huge shift in the industry depending on their success because it might alter the way major film companies deal with different types of releases.

But, for the moment, that’s a discussion that’ll grow in 2018 and in the meantime… Welcome to Berlin 2052 – where dreams come true and man comes undone…. watch the trailer and let us know what you think in the comments below or over on our Critical Popcorn Twitter!

MUTE comes to Netflix globally from 23 February.
