Hi! I'm a newbie....
Just wanted to jump into everything to do with Alex. :love:
Kudos to posting all the news coming out...I feel totally caught up! :biggrin:
Soooo...this isn't one of those forums that ban speaking about his personal life?? Judging from older posts, it doesn't seem so which is why I joined. :p I don't know much about whatever is going on with alexa, but I sure hope it's over or just super casual. :tdown:
How long is he supposed to be in Berlin?

Welcome rosygc. Yes, since this is a gossip/news forum we will discuss his personal life. Though in the last year that's not been much since he and Alexa have been pretty low key. Even the last two months, with the possible breakup/getting back together it's still pretty low key. They've been pretty boring gossip-wise.

I read that The Aftermath will also be shot in Berlin. I don't know when shooting is scheduled to begin, but he could have a very extended stay.

I don't think I've read anything official, but based on what Alex's said I'm making that presumption. Mute is supposed to finish filming in December, and then perhaps The Aftermath the beginning of 2017.

The press release from Netflix regarding Mute:
Mute, A Netflix Original Film From Filmmaker Duncan Jones, Commences Principal Photography
Alexander Skarsgård, Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux Topline the Futuristic Thriller Shooting in Berlin
Beverly Hills, CA (October 12, 2016) – Netflix announced that principal photography commenced this week on filmmaker Duncan Jones’s (Warcraft: The Beginning, Moon) thriller Mute in Berlin, Germany. Starring Alexander Skarsgård (Tarzan, The Diary of a Teenage Girl), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man, Anchorman) and Justin Theroux (The Leftovers, The Girl on the Train), the feature film, which will be produced by Jones’s longtime business partner Stuart Fenegan for Liberty Films, will join Netflix’s growing 2017 Original Film slate.
The much-anticipated project comes from a story Jones created twelve years ago. The film follows Leo (Skarsgård), a mute man searching for a missing person in the year 2052 in Berlin while dueling with two rogue villains played by Rudd and Theroux. Jones co-wrote the script with Michael Robert Johnson (Sherlock Holmes). Charles J.D. Schlissel serves as executive producer along with co-producers Henning Molfenter, Charlie Woebcken, Christoph Fisser of Studio Babelsberg.
Mute is an encapsulation of everything I am fascinated by; noir, science fiction, and unique people in trouble because of who and what they are. I’m delighted to be able to return to Berlin for the shoot, a place I lived for a period of time growing up, and I’m excited to be working with Netflix on a film that is so close to my heart,” said Duncan Jones.
“Duncan Jones is such a dynamic directing force, and the team he has assembled in-front-of and behind-the-camera will continue to reinvigorate the science fiction genre. It will be exciting to share this film with Netflix audiences around the world next year,” said Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content officer.
Producer Stuart Fenegan added: “Duncan handed me a version of Mute at our very first meeting together 13 years ago and I have wanted to bring it to life ever since. We just had to make Moon, Source Code and Warcraft in between, and in that time Netflix has become the place for original films. The perfect home for Mute.”...

I always feel like they should say "Justin Theroux's eyebrows have joined..."

Justin Theroux Joins the Cast of Netflix Thriller ‘Mute’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Justin Theroux has joined Paul Rudd and Alexander Skarsgard in science-fiction thriller “Mute,” with Duncan Jones directing.

Skarsgard is portraying a mute bartender in Berlin, 40 years in the future in what has become a roiling city of immigrants, where East crashes against West. His character will be looking for a woman who has disappeared — and when his search takes him deep into the city’s underbelly, an odd pair of American surgeons seem to be the only recurring clue.

“Mute” is based on a script by Jones and Mike Johnson and will be produced by Stuart Fenegan under Jones and Fenegan’s Liberty Films banner. Netflix announced in September that it would handle distribution.
Rudd and Skarsgard came on to the project late last year. Jones, who has been developing “Mute” for a dozen years, also directed “Moon,” “Warcraft” and “Source Code.”

Theroux can be seen currently in “The Girl on the Train.” He stars in HBO’s series “The Leftovers,” currently in production on its third and final season, which will air in 2017.

Theroux also co-wrote “Zoolander 2” and “Tropic Thunder” with Ben Stiller and scripted “Iron Man 2” for Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios. He’s repped by CAA and Lighthouse Management.

Yes, this was mentioned a few pages ago.

:biggrin:
Plus the media media might pay more attention to the set because of possible Aniston sightings.

Here's another little article on Mute:
Duncan Jones’ ‘Mute’ casts Justin Theroux, gets Netflix release

By Emily Rome @EmilyNRome | Wednesday, Oct 12, 2016 1:43 PM

Duncan Jones has been working on Mute for 12 years, and now its release is just about 12 months away (maybe less than!).

It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for Mute — for me, ever since I raced to Google Jones’ in-the-works projects immediately after seeing his incredible feature directorial debut, Moon, at my hometown’s indie theater in 2009. In the interim, Jones released time loop movie Source Code and this year’s Warcraft, but Mute has been waiting on the back burner all the while.

Now Mute has a Netflix release and an ambitious schedule: the streaming platform announced today that it’s distributing the film with a 2017 release date, and production in Berlin starts today. It’ll likely get a limited theatrical release simultaneous to hitting the streaming platform, similar to last year’s Beasts of No Nation. This news comes after Alexander Skarsgård spilled on the Netflix deal late last month.

Also announced today: The Leftovers and Girl on the Train actor Justin Theroux is joining Mute’s cast.

Jones has said the film “owes something to Blade Runner,” and the visual influence is evident in the concept art that’s long been online (below). My one concern is that Mute will hit theaters too close to a spiritual-cousin Blade Runner sequel (that movie opens next October). But the story is certainly different enough, and though the thought-provoking sci-fi of Moon was influenced by movies like Blade Runner and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Jones himself is a unique and exciting enough voice that Mute should be a film set apart next year. (Interestingly, it looks like Mute will be set three years before Blade Runner: 2049, a title that presumably refers to when it takes place.)

Mostly, I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of performances Mute delivers. Jones pulled an Oscar-worthy performance (two Oscar-worthy performances, actually) out of Sam Rockwell for Moon, and with Mute, he’s again giving his lead actor a compelling challenge — this time, it appears, Skarsgård will have to carry the film without the luxury of speech.

With a script co-written by Jones and Michael Robert Johnson (Sherlock Holmes), Mute follows Leo, a mute bartender (Skarsgård) in 2052 Berlin searching for a missing person who was his one reason to be in the city in the first place. The Netflix press release today calls Theroux and Paul Rudd’s characters “two rogue villains” who Leo finds himself “dueling” with, while a release last year from the film’s two production companies described them as “an odd pair of American surgeons who seem to be the only recurring clue” to this missing woman Leo’s searching for, “and Leo can’t tell if they can help, or who he should fear most.”

Clint Mansell, who wrote Moon’s haunting score, is on board to compose Mute’s music. This spring, he told me of the project: “One of the things of having a long gestation period is you got a lot of time to explore things. You never quite know until you start putting music to footage whether it’s going to work or not. But it’s great to have time to explore it. It’s a real rare gift.”

Soon, Mansell will finally have some Mute footage to work with.
