Nope. You're not a lone tree. I like it too. So does GQ who has an article about this outfit and photo of Alex in it. They call it that rare outfit that can be worn anywhere and use terms like glorious and epic when describing it.I'm the lone tree in this forest but I like the first Japan outfit
It'll be interesting to see his wardrobe for the rest of his visit.
Thanks Maggie - here's your GQ article:
He Tarzan, you...should be taking notes.

It's the waist part of the pants that's bugging me, maybe a belt would have helped? Or, he could have just gone pantless!
Duncan Jones is promoting Warcraft but does say something about Mute in some of his interviews:
And now Mute is next? Now that Warcraft is done, I’m going to sneak off and do this little sci-fi, Mute, out in Berlin. I’m going to do that next, which is a much smaller film.
I’ve heard you describe Mute as a spiritual sequel to Moon and that it’s inspired by Blade Runner.
It’s really going to be very different, I think, than any kind of science fiction films that are being made right now. I’ve likened it recently to something being more like Casablanca. It’s more like a ‘70s thriller in some sense. It’s almost like Paul Schrader’s Hardcore. It’s not what you traditionally think of as sci-fi, but it is and it works great.
I don’t want to know too much, but what do you mean by that?
A lot of what people think of is when you do an R-rated movie these days, it’s either extreme violence or a “sweary” comedy. I think that this is just going to have an adult nature to it, thematically. And the way we approach the material, it’s going to be dark and surreal – but there’s also this layer of comedy in it as well. There are a lot of films from that ‘70s period that are in the soil of this movie. So whether it’s Hardcore or M*A*S*H, it’s that tone.
M*A*S*H? I assume the Altman movie…
Yeah, the Altman movie.
You don’t hear Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H brought up often when describing an upcoming sci-fi movie.
[Laughs.] It really is going to be very, very different. You’re probably right not to know too much about it, so just go see it knowing as little as possible and it really is going to kind of bump you. It’s going to be fun.
What would really throw people off is if you added, “And it has a shade of Doc Hollywood.”
Well, of course. There has to be Chesney in there somewhere! It will always be that song, but the trick will be to find ways to arrange it and perform it so every time it sounds different. So in Warcraft, the version we did for that, it’s kind of this medieval, bardic ditty.

It’s doubtful any fan of Duncan Jones’ thrilled to the news that he’d follow “Moon” and “Source Code” with a big-screen take on “Warcraft.” But if the prospect of him adapting a video game wasn’t especially enticing, we could console ourselves with this thought: Maybe he’d finally get to make “Mute.”
“Mute” is the passion project Jones has chased for years, one he conceived even before the 2009 release of “Moon.” A murder mystery set in the world of “cybernetic surgeons” in mid-21st century Berlin, “Mute” has been Jones’ obsession. He was so determined to tell the story than when the film looked as if it would never get made, he decided to turn it into a graphic novel, although that hasn’t been finished, either.
Jones has taken taken to referring to “Mute” as “my ‘Don Quixote,'” in reference to the troubled but tenacious project that Terry Gilliam has been trying to make for nearly two decades. Even with a paucity of details, Jones’ dedication to “Mute” makes it interesting. Anything that holds a filmmaker’s attention for so long, and in the face of so much adversity, has got to be worth seeing.
Taking on a $160 million CGI spectacular seemed like the perfect vehicle to prove that Jones could handle a large-scale production, to turn him from a cult director into a reliable commodity, with enough industry clout to finally realize his dream. “Warcraft” would be the proverbial one for them, and “Mute” the one for me.
But the reviews of “Warcraft,” which have largely been scathing, put a crimp in that plan. (At least “Batman V. Superman” had defenders.) And the box-office projections aren’t much better — at last estimate, they put “Warcraft” in second place behind “The Conjuring 2,” a movie that despite its name cast and franchise-tested director, cost only a quarter what “Warcraft” did.
Last year, Jones said he was hoping to “sneak in” “Mute” before “Warcraft” opened; now he’s saying it’s his next movie. But if “Warcraft” tanks, it seems eminently possible “Mute” could, once again, go mute.
As with most studio tentpoles, domestic take is only a fraction of the story: “Warcraft” made a near-record $45 million at the Chinese box office in its first day, more than it’s expected to make in its entire opening weekend in the U.S. So it’s still possible that “Warcraft” may prove to be Jones’ glowing green gateway to greenlight power.

Lovely pics, thanks Santress! I like his outfit, especially the sunglasses and the shirt.Well, those shoes are not his usual style but I hope he feels comfortable in them without socks...
I agree with Kitkath that the pants are not the best choice. Nevertheless he looks absolutely gorgeous!
I'm the lone tree in this forest but I like the first Japan outfit
It'll be interesting to see his wardrobe for the rest of his visit.
I don't mind the shirt, but those pants are too high wasted and too long in the croutch. Bunching up everywhere. He needs Tom Ford to make all his pants
I'll be the third tree in our little forest. I like this look. I agree that there are some fit issues. I wasn't a fan of the fit of the tux at the fashion awards and I agree about the pant fit, but I really like that he's doing something different. I like that we are talking about his "new" look vs his janky shoes with the usual black jeans and whatever shirt he's owned for the last few years that he pulled out of his suitcase. @Kendalia, i had to laugh at your comment about the wrinkled shirt. I am also looking forward to his upcoming PR tour for the movie and see what they come up with for him to wear. Getting excited for the movie.
Off topic for a second: I'm assuming (rightly or wrongly) that a lot of Alex fans became fans because they were into horror and started watching True Blood.
So...if you want a really good, creepy AF film that operates on more than one level..seek out The Witch. It went to Sundance in 2015 and it's very, very good. I saw it two weeks ago and its still resonating.

I never thought TB was horror, not scary enough!
But if the Anita Blake vampire hunter series had been adopted, that could have gone horror.Back to The Witch, based on the reviews coming out of Sundance 2015 The Witch was put on a lot of most anticipated lists for this year. And when it was released, the audience didn't like it. At.All. There's been speculation that the audience was expecting a more straight up scary movie and that's not what they got (haven't seen it, so can't say).
Alex is feeling stripey and blue gray today:

I loved the film. The language is work to understand at first but it's a very creepy little story with a lot going on beneath the main story line. It's extremely well done and pre-dates (but sets the tone for) the Salem Witch trials.
The ending gave me chills. It's very different but well worth a look.

Oh of course this shirt makes a comeback!
Thanks, Free & Buckeye.
