The director of Moon loves the LucasArts adventure game
“If you loved the original, this is worth buying for the improved sound alone,” John Walker (RPS in peace) said in ourFull Throttle Remasteredreview. “If you never played it, then oh my goodness, hurry up!” Game’s good. And one known celebrity fan is Duncan Jones, the director of Moon, Source Code, Warcraft, and Mute. Enough of a fan to want to make a movie.
That was a year ago, but he’d still quite like for his fanfic to become fic. Jones tweeted on Sunday:
If you could all tell@DisneyStudioshow much you’d love them to let me make Full Throttle for@Disney+, that would be adorable and I’d be very appreciative.💪🏼❤️👍🏼
He could just be bored and tweetin' but hey, stranger things have happened. I heard Errol from 15 Storeys High traps people on the Moon?
I also have written fanfic I’d like canonised, so please do get in touch with me too, Walt Disney. I’ve got some stories that’ll thaw your head and no mistake!
In the meantime, you can already kinda watch a Full Throttle movie. It has enough cutscenes and dialogue that over the years, several folks have edited playthroughs into ‘movies’, like this one by “whitehands”:
Still one of the best openings in video games.
