Il en avait déjà parlé vaguement et en voici plus :

The filmmaker spent a lot of time discussing “Ad Astra,” his upcoming sci-fi film that is set to begin production in early 2017. While Gray has mentioned “Ad Astra” for years now, he’s generally talked around the plot and has otherwise offered few details. But during this talk, he was much more forthcoming.

“I had read about the people that had developed the [atomic] bomb, that in doing the atom splitting for the first time, there was a 90% chance that all known matter in the universe would not be destroyed,” he explained about the inspiration for the film. “And they did the experiment anyhow and split the atom and I always found that extremely alarming; that they did the experiment with the 10% chance that [everything] would be destroyed.”

The director then revealed how the film’s plot had been influenced by this chilling scenario. “So I started to think about a very ‘Hearts Of Darkness’/’Apocalypse Now‘ thing, that somebody is going to do an experiment like that because they have nothing to lose,” he explained. “And we have to send somebody to destroy him. So that is basically [what the film] is, and the thing that’s in the middle of it of course is the terrible cabin fever that begins to set in.”

“I had read also about trips to Mars, where they were purposefully trying to recruit people with Asperger’s Syndrome,” he continued. “Because idiots like me… would not handle not having to interact with people for a year and a half long trip. To wrap it all, I had read all this [stuff] and I thought it would be interesting to mix a [Joseph] Conrad-type idea with something that goes terribly wrong. And they choose people that they think are appropriately emotionally repressed [to embark on the mission but] they’re not repressed enough and this craziness that happens on the way.”

So that’s the broad strokes of the plot of “Ad Astra,” with Gray calling the film “science fact,” rather than science fiction because his conception is different from most sci-fi films. “The way I wanted to shoot it was like Apollo footage, incredibly realistic,” he said. “But not like ‘Gravity.’ You know that documentary ‘For All Mankind’? The footage is remarkable: they shot all this 16mm footage and [I want to] do it like that. Very science based. Almost ‘science fact,’ but 50 years in the future.”

Don’t look for the influence of Andrei Tarkovsky either, or at least not “Solaris,” which Gray doesn’t love (“It doesn’t hold up,” though he calls “Andrei Rublev” a masterpiece and chided himself for daring to speak against Tarkovsky).

Gray said he always wanted to buck sci-fi trends. “[I want to] fight the temptation —another mistake all sci-fi films make— of a dystopian future,” he said. “The idea of, ‘The future is really bad, everything sucks! which I think is a fairly boring dramatic idea. Because the truth of it is that the path of human development has been fairly good over the past 1,000 years. We have blips like Hitler…but generally we’re not living in black plague land. I think it’s important to promote a future that is both —dystopian and in some ways considerably better than the future we have now.”

His favorite sci-fi films? “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Blade Runner” and “Metropolis.”

Première fois qu'un James Gray m'intéresse.

Sinon, le délire sur la destruction de l'univers à cause de la technologie atomique, je sais pas d'où ça sort. Ça me paraît un peu fumeux.

Très intrigant, ce projet.

Oui, il y a même un trailer (mais c'est pas vraiment sur les conquistadors) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVIjLq9r308

Au moins la photo jaune dégueu devrait être un peu plus justifiée ici que dans son précédent film (et le prochain).

Pour rappel j'ai lu le scénar qui était assez décevant, bien trop classique.

Pour ne pas dire académique... Quant à Ad Astra, ces propos datent de 2014 et comme la production de The Lost City of Z semble avoir été compliquée, je pense que l'on n'est pas près de le voir.

Ah tiens le film porte le même nom que le jeu de plateau Ad Astra.
Vers les étoiles...

Hâte d'en savoir plus, mais on a le temps de voir venir, 2018 paraît loin.

Décidé à tourner avec Gray, Brad Pitt is eyeing the starring role.

The story revolves around a slightly autistic engineer whose father left 20 years ago on a one-way mission to Neptune in order to find signs of extra-terrestrial intelligence. As an adult, he now sets out to travel the Solar System to find his father and discover why his mission failed.

Gray co-wrote the script with Ethan Ross, and as work is being done to keep the budget manageable, Ad Astra may soon land at New Regency with a summer production start-date.

Steve Weintraub spoke with Gray at the press day for Lost City of Z, he asked if Ad Astra is indeed his next project with Pitt in the starring role:

“Yes, yes, and yes. I’m terrified by it. The science-fiction genre is so tricky because there are elements of fantasy usually involved, and there are also fantastical elements. What I’m trying to do is the most realistic depiction of space travel that’s been put in a movie and to basically say, ‘Space is awfully hostile to us.’ It’s kind of a Heart of Darkness story about traveling to the outer edge of our solar system. I have a lot of hopes for it but it is certainly ambitious… It starts shooting July 17th, so not too far away. I’m filled with terror, but that’s fine (laughs).”

Ca donne très envie là, surtout après la démarche de THE LOST CITY OF Z.
