A bit of slow news days for us fans right now until the next NCW, so I wanna a do a topic about the possibility for a Cyberpunk movie or TV series in the future.
Which film directors that you guys think would deliver it properly. Meanwhile Here is my personal TOP 5 picks:
1. Gareth Evans (The Raid Redemption, The Raid 2, Apostle, Gangs of London)
2. Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective S1, Beast of No Nation, Netflix's Maniac, No Time to Die)
3. Leigh Whannell (UPGRADE, Invisible Man)
4. Taylor Sheridan (Sicario - writer, Hell or High Water -writer, Wind River, Yellowstone)
5. Keanu Reeves (Man of Tai chi + VERY BIG ACTOR LOL)
My reasoning:
+ It's pretty clear the list aren't exactly the most obvious "big film directors" that we commonly know, but I feel this could be its own advantages & maybe an opportunity for creativity.
+ Gareth Evans. He is my first pick because I feel he is just the perfect person to handle it imo. he's a great action thriller director, arguably the best & most unique one in recent years. He is also quite a great writer, particularly in themes about crime drama like gangs, hard social life, diverse communities, all things about city underbelly. Some of his works actually really fit in Cyberpunk scenario, especially his latest work TV series "Gangs of London." I really recommended anybody who love action gritty stuffs & maybe body horror to watch his movies & TV series. He is indeed one of the most underrated film director, especially since he is no "Hollywood guy."
+ Cary Joji Fukunaga. His works are just strikingly excellent & bold. his directorial big debut with True Detective S1 truly elevated him to be one of the best film director in recent years. He's also a great writer with works like "Beast of Nation" & "Maniac." Also, he directed the upcoming James Bond's No Time to Die! We shall see what he could come up with for a more action oriented movie like james Bond.
+ Leigh Whannell. One of the directors that actually has very cyberpunk genre works under his belt. UPGRADE is just an excellent cyberpunk horror movie. Meanwhile "Invisible Man" is a pretty great horror movie that low key sci-fi like the stuffs from "Black Mirror." both movies also written by him so it pretty much showed the potentials for an excellent Cyberpunk writing. Apparently he is also working on "Escape from New York" Remake & it's pretty clear the OG movie is one of a direct influences to Cyberpunk genre.
+ Taylor Sheridan. Arguably the best screen writer on the list while also a pretty good film director. His writing works on Sicario & Hell or High Water are just excellent to boot. Very deep, meaningful, gritty, & also rather americana imo. his directorial debut in Wind River is just great imo. So many gripping powerful scenes in that movie.
+ KEANU REEVES. Ah ... the man, the legend, Johnny Silverhand himself. Yes, I actually did want him to direct a Cyberpunk movie/TV series. He is the "Wild Card" imo. His one & only directorial debut movie "Man of Tai Chi" actually is pretty decent action MA movie imo. it has great action scenes with somewhat decent story albeit quite average imo. This could also be a surprise & maybe a potentials that the world have not yet seen!! As far as we know, Keanu Reeves also work on some of the best cyberpunk movies of all time like Matrix trilogy & also in a cult classic Cyberpunk movie Johnny Mnemonic. So at this point, he's probably very familiar with Cyberpunk genre as a whole.
What do you guys think?? Also, feel free to make your own list of film directors that you want for Cyberpunk 2077 movie/show.
